In 2023, the value of whole fresh aquatic animals production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at a higher base compared to the forecasted figures for 2024 to 2028. The projected decline from 448.39 million Euros in 2024 to 440.64 million Euros in 2028 represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, indicating a contraction in this sector. Over the five-year forecast period, this trend reflects a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR), highlighting the industry's challenges in maintaining its output value.
Future trends to watch for include potential environmental regulations, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainably sourced seafood, and the impact of climate change on marine biodiversity. Technological advancements in fishing methods and supply chain efficiencies could also play a critical role in shaping the future trajectory of the capture fisheries sector.
