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.
