In 2023, the production of fresh rocklings for human consumption through capture fisheries in France stood at a value higher than the forecasted 2024 figure. From 2024, a consistent downward trend is expected, with values decreasing year-on-year:
- 2025: A decrease from 2024
- 2026: A further decline from 2025
- 2027: Continued drop from 2026
- 2028: A reduction from 2027
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is negative, reflecting an overall annual average decrease in production value.
Future trends to watch for include possible shifts in consumer preferences, which could affect demand, as well as potential regulatory changes and environmental factors impacting fish stock sustainability and capture practices.
