In 2023, the production of gutted fresh shads in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at 0.7 metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady production level of 0.7 metric tons annually. As a result, there are no anticipated annual changes or trends in production volume over the next five years. Therefore, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) observed over this period remains 0%.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood sources could impact shad demand and production.
Environmental regulations and sustainable fishing practices may influence future production capabilities and strategies.
Technological advancements in aquaculture might offer new opportunities for enhancing production efficiency.
