In 2023, the production of whole fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in France's capture fisheries for human consumption stood at 34.329 million euros. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 predict a declining trend. In 2024, production is expected to decrease to 33.023 million euros, representing a year-on-year decline of approximately 3.8% from 2023. This decreasing trend continues annually: a reduction of 3.8% in 2025, 3.9% in 2026, 4.0% in 2027, and 4.2% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period indicates an average annual decline of 3.8%.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes affecting fisheries, advances in sustainable fishing practices, and the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and fish populations, which could further influence production levels and market dynamics.
