In 2023, the production of whole fresh annular seabream in France stood at 7.8 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady increase in production with values projected to rise from 8 to 9 metric tons. This reflects an average annual growth of about 3.0% over the five-year period. The initial years observe a closer growth margin, growing from 8 to 8.5 metric tons by 2026, before a slight acceleration to 9 metric tons by 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of environmental policies on capture fisheries.
- Developments in sustainable fishing practices.
- Shifts in consumer preference towards sustainable seafood options.
- Potential influences of climate change on marine biodiversity and seabream stocks.
- Technological innovations in the fishing industry improving capture efficiency.
