In 2023, the value of fresh mackerel scad production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was already under strain, leading to a forecasted decline from 2024 to 2028. Predictions for 2024 project a value of 4.26 thousand euros per metric ton, dropping annually to 3.93 thousand euros by 2028. This sets a negative year-on-year trend with a gradual decline over the years. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a consistent downturn across the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include factors such as changes in consumer demand, policy shifts relating to fisheries, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and economic conditions affecting the cost structure of French fisheries. Additionally, climate impacts on marine ecosystems could further influence production and market prices.
