The total lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is anticipated to decrease steadily from 2.81 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 2.26 thousand metric tons in 2028. This mirrors a decline from the 2023 level, reflecting a consistent downward trend. Year-over-year, the production is forecasted to drop by approximately 5% from 2024 to 2028, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -5% over this period, highlighting a shrinking supply.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental policies, changes in marine biodiversity, technological advancements in fisheries, and shifts in consumer demand. Stakeholders should consider strategies to enhance sustainability and diversify supply sources.
