As of 2023, France's production of whole fresh Mediterranean horse mackerel in capture fisheries was notably at a steady state, with projections for substantial increase starting from 2024. Forecasted production is set at 850 metric tons in 2024, showing a consistent rising trend reaching 943.5 metric tons by 2028. Each year's growth rate is approximately 2.75%, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.65% over the forecast period. This indicates a robust upward trajectory in the production of this fish species for human consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental factors and regulatory changes, which may influence fish populations and sustainable fishing practices, potentially affecting supply stability and pricing dynamics in France's seafood market.
