The forecast for fresh whelk production in capture fisheries in France shows a steady increase from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the value of fresh whelk stood below the forecasted 2024 figure of 3.48 thousand euros per metric ton. From 2024 to 2028, the value is projected to improve annually, with a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 6.61% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is a healthy 5.89%, indicating sustained growth.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from climate change on marine life, regulatory changes in the European Union fishing policies, and shifts in consumer demand for seafood. Emerging technologies in sustainable fishing practices may also influence future production values and efficiencies in the industry.
