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.
