The forecast for the production of fresh filefishes, commonly known as leatherjackets, for human consumption in France indicates a steady decline over the next five years. In 2023, the production value was recorded at 233.25 thousand euros. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent year-on-year drop, with a notable average annual decrease of approximately 3.2% CAGR over this period. This declining trend is evident with the production value diminishing from 225.27 thousand euros in 2024 to 190.64 thousand euros by 2028.
Looking ahead, it’s crucial to watch for factors that could influence this sector such as changes in consumer preferences, potential policy shifts towards sustainable fishing practices, technological advancements in aquaculture, and environmental impacts on marine ecosystems. These factors can significantly affect production and market dynamics in the coming years.
