Demersal fish production in France is set to experience a gradual decline from 195.3 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 191.88 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.5%. In comparison, the production in 2023 was 196.2 thousand metric tons, marking the beginning of this downward trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reveals a slight but steady decline of roughly 0.9% per year.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices, shifts in regulatory policies affecting the fishing industry, and changes in consumer demand towards sustainable or alternative seafood options. These factors could influence the production forecasts and potentially disrupt the current declining trend.
