The forecast for gutted fresh freshwater and diadromous fish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France reveals a consistent decline in value from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the value stood stable at the same level as 2024, indicating initial stagnation. From 2024, there is a gradual decrease each year: 4.9% in 2025, 4.7% in 2026, 5.4% in 2027, and a subsequent 5.2% decline in 2028, resulting in an average annual decline, or CAGR, of approximately 5.05% over these five years.
Looking towards future trends, attention should be given to:
- The impact of environmental policies on freshwater fish availability.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture and their potential to offset declines.
- Consumer preference shifts towards sustainably sourced seafood.
- Economic factors affecting production costs and pricing.
