In 2023, the dried fish market in France was approximately at the level of 2024's forecasted volume of 8.0941 million kilograms, which indicates a stable start. However, the market is expected to decline year over year, with predicted values of 7.8218 million kilograms in 2025, 7.5521 in 2026, 7.2852 in 2027, and 7.0209 in 2028. This suggests a consistent downward trend with an average decrease in volume each year (CAGR) over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards alternative protein sources, potentially impacting dried fish demand.
- Regulatory impacts from sustainability and fishing quotas that could influence supply.
- Fluctuations in international trade relations affecting import and export viability.
- Innovations in preservation technologies that might either revitalize the market or accelerate its decline.
