France's total cockle production in capture fisheries is forecasted to increase steadily from 814.9 metric tons in 2024 to 915.5 metric tons by 2028. Compared to the 2023 levels, this predicts a positive growth trajectory. Over the forecasted years, the year-on-year growth percentages are expected to be moderate but consistent, reflecting a healthy sector. Specifically, the growth rates between consecutive years are anticipated to range from around 3% to 5%, with a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years affirming a robust upward trend for cockle production.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental changes and regulatory shifts in France's fisheries management. Moreover, technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices and evolving consumer preferences towards seafood could further influence production dynamics.
