In 2023, the production of whole fresh American plaice and long rough dab in France's capture fisheries was at 6.6 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a stable trend with a slight increase in 2027 and 2028 to 6.7 metric tons, suggesting a minor upward trajectory. There is a negligible year-on-year variation, remaining constant at 0% from 2024-2026 and an increase of approximately 1.5% from 2026 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is minimal, indicating a steady but slow growth outlook.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes in European fisheries policies, sustainability initiatives, and market demand shifts influenced by consumer preferences for sustainable seafood. Additionally, climate change impacts on marine biodiversity could affect the supply of these species.
