In 2023, the production value of fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at approximately 21.226 million euros. Over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, there is a projected slight decline, with values decreasing from 21.201 million euros in 2024 to 21.101 million euros by 2028. The year-on-year variations are subtle, reflecting a consistent decrease of approximately 0.12% per annum. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates a negligible decline, highlighting a stable yet slightly downward trend in production value.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes in sustainable fishing practices and consumer preferences shifting towards alternative sources of seafood, which may impact these forecasts. Additionally, economic conditions in France and broader environmental factors will also play a key role in shaping production value dynamics in this sector.
