As of 2023, the import of frozen whole skipjack and stripe-bellied bonito to France was valued at approximately 118.74 thousand US dollars. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a consistent decline in import values. Specifically, there is an expected average annual decrease (CAGR) of approximately 7.8% over the five-year period. Year-on-year, the imports are expected to decline by about 7.81% between 2024 and 2025, 8.32% between 2025 and 2026, 8.89% between 2026 and 2027, and 9.56% between 2027 and 2028.
Future trends to watch for include a continued focus on sustainability and shifts in consumer preferences towards locally sourced seafood, which may impact import demands further. Additionally, trade policies and tariffs could also play a significant role in influencing future trends.
