In 2023, the value of whole fresh true lobsters and lobsterettes production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at an undisclosed amount. Starting from 2024, forecasts show a consistent year-on-year decline in value from €10.95k per metric ton in 2024 to €5.49k by 2028. This represents an average annual decline (CAGR) over the forecasted period, indicating a degrading market value for this seafood category due to various potential factors such as changing consumer preferences or environmental challenges.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer dietary patterns favoring sustainable seafood, regulatory changes impacting fishing practices, and the impacts of climate change on lobster populations and distribution, which can further influence the market dynamics and pricing strategies.
