In 2023, France's production of pouting bib for human consumption stood at approximately 2.54 thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, a consistent decline is observed in the forecasted figures, decreasing from 2.4 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.84 in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease ranging from approximately 5.8% to 7.1% during these years. Additionally, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period from 2024 to 2028 is roughly -6%.
Key future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of climate change on capture fisheries and fish populations.
- Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood options.
- Potential policy changes affecting fishing quotas and regulations.
