The forecast for gutted fresh seafood production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The production volume is expected to decrease from 40.6 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 33.63 thousand metric tons in 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decline. Notably, this downward trend highlights a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that signifies an average annual decrease over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include changes in fishery management practices, impacts of climate change, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced seafood options. Additionally, regulatory developments in European Union policies concerning fisheries may significantly impact production levels.
