The production of whole fresh deep-water catsharks in France's capture fisheries for human consumption is projected to increase steadily from 0.73 metric tons in 2024 to 0.82 metric tons by 2028. This forecasted growth demonstrates a gradual annual increase, reflecting potential improvements in catch efficiency or market demand. The forecast suggests a positive trend, with an average annual compound growth rate (CAGR) indicative of the sector's potential development over the forecasted period. As of 2023, the production data was not provided, hence no baseline determination can be made for comparison.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in domestic and global demand for catshark products.
- Changes in fishing policies affecting deep-water fisheries.
- Advancements in sustainable fishing practices and their adoption in France.
