In the forecast for edible crab production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France, the value in 2023 stood at 7 million Euros. The projections from 2024 to 2028 show a continuous decline: starting from 6.539 million Euros in 2024 to 4.5854 million Euros by 2028. The year-on-year decreases suggest a consistent reduction, with a notable average annual decline (CAGR) throughout these five years.
Future trends to monitor include:
- The impact of environmental regulations and sustainability measures on fisheries.
- Advancements in aquaculture as an alternative to capture fisheries.
- Market demand adaptations due to changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood.
