The forecast for pelagic fish import volume in France from 2024 to 2028 indicates a slight decline over the years, decreasing from 541.74 to 538.39 thousand metric tons. While the volume stood at an actual figure of 542.6 thousand metric tons in 2023, the year-on-year decrease from 2024 onwards signifies a gradual decline of about 0.58% per year on average. This trend suggests a steady, though marginal, reduction in import volumes during this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences driven by sustainability concerns and a growing focus on locally sourced seafood.
Trade policies and regulations that might affect import volumes.
Impact of climate change on pelagic fish availability and ecosystem disruptions that may influence future import trends.
