As of 2023, the import value of live ornamental freshwater fish to France stood at a higher baseline prior to the listed forecasts. Forecasts indicate a continuous decline in imports from 2024 onwards. Specifically, from 2024 to 2028, the value decreases progressively by more than 10% across five years, with each year's reduction reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.5%.

Trends to watch for:

Shifting consumer preferences and ecological concerns might increasingly favor local or alternative ornamental fish sources.
Regulatory changes related to trade and environmental conservation could further impact import volumes.
Advancements in breeding technology may lower the demand for imported fish as domestic production meets market needs.
