In 2023, the production of whole fresh saithe pollock for human consumption in France stood at an unspecified baseline. The forecast indicates a continuous downward trend from 2024 onwards, with a significant reduction in production from 83.4 metric tons in 2024 to 31.6 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year decline is substantial, with forecasted reductions of 15.9% in 2025, 18.7% in 2026, 22.4% in 2027, and 28.5% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period is a declining rate of 20.3%.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes on fishing practices, sustainability concerns, and potential shifts in consumer demand towards alternative sources. Adaptive measures, such as more efficient resource management and exploring new fisheries, might be necessary to mitigate the anticipated production decline.
