In 2023, the production value of gutted Fresh American Plaice and Long Rough Dab in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at a certain baseline. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a downward trend, with values decreasing year-on-year. Specifically, a consistent decline is observed: from 2.55 thousand euros per metric ton in 2024 down to 2.1 thousand euros per metric ton by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests a consistent drop in market value, reflecting potential challenges in maintaining pricing or demand levels.
Future trends to watch include:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood, possibly affecting demand for these specific species.
- Environmental or regulatory developments affecting capture fisheries and impacting supply.
- Technological advances in fishing techniques that might alter production efficiency and costs.
- Shifts in international trade policies that could influence export dynamics.
