The import of frozen whole mackerel to France in 2024 is forecasted to remain stable at around 8.43 million kilograms, slightly lower than the 2023 figures. Year-on-year variations show a consistent slight decline, with imports decreasing approximately 1.82% annually through 2028. This steady reduction translates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that trends downward over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of sustainability practices on mackerel supply chains, which could affect import volumes.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards local and fresh alternatives that may further reduce frozen imports.
- Potential economic policies impacting trade tariffs and market dynamics within the European fisheries sector.
