In 2023, the production value of whole fresh aquatic plants in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at an actual amount slightly below the 2024 forecast of €2.7363 million. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent year-on-year increase in production value, with expected growth rates of approximately 4.85% in 2025, 4.57% in 2026, 4.33% in 2027, and 4.11% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is anticipated at 4.47%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Consideration of environmental sustainability, as increasing production might impact ecosystems.
- Innovations in aquaculture techniques to optimize yield and quality.
- Monitoring global demand shifts toward plant-based diets, which could boost consumption.
- Potential impacts of policy changes on fishing practices and regulations.
