In 2023, the production of whole fresh filefishes and leatherjackets for human consumption in France stood at 234.8 thousand euros. The forecast for the years 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline from 224.5 to 189.0 thousand euros. This represents approximate year-on-year decreases of 4% from 2024 to 2025, and similar reductions subsequently. Over the five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is approximately -4.0%, indicating a notable downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies and consumer preference shifts towards alternative seafood options, which may further influence production volumes and economic value in this segment.
