The forecasted production value of alive fresh cupped oysters in France is expected to decrease steadily from €2,100 per metric ton in 2024 to €1,390 by 2028. This marks a consistent year-over-year decline: 8.57% in 2025, 9.38% in 2026, 10.34% in 2027, and 10.90% in 2028. Although this data does not provide the 2023 values, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2024-2028 highlights a downward trend of approximately -10.39% annually.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of climate change on oyster habitats and subsequent production.
- Fluctuations in consumer demand and potential shifts towards plant-based seafood alternatives.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture that might stabilize yields or reduce production costs.
- Regulatory changes, including stricter environmental protections that could further affect capture fisheries.
