As of 2023, France's sea-cucumber production in capture fisheries for human consumption was recorded at 1.7 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 onwards indicates a modest yet steady growth, rising from 1.8 metric tons in 2024 to 2.1 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth averages around 5.9% from 2023 to 2025, followed by more stable figures. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period is approximately 3.9%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts towards sustainable fishing practices could impact production levels.
Consumer demand in European and Asian markets may drive further growth.
Regulatory changes and environmental factors could pose challenges or create opportunities for expansion.
