In 2023, the production of headed gutted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles for human consumption in France stood at an undisclosed value, as historical data is missing. However, forecasts from 2024 onwards indicate a gradual increase in production value, starting at 4.76 thousand Euros in 2024 and reaching 5.46 thousand Euros by 2028. This represents a cumulative growth trend.

Year-on-year, the production value is set to increase by approximately 3.78% in 2025, 3.65% in 2026, 3.32% in 2027, and 3.21% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five forecast years is moderate, reflecting steady growth in the industry.

Future trends to watch for:

Sustainable fishing practices are likely to influence production volumes and values positively.
Regulatory changes in the European fishing industry may impact market dynamics.
Increasing consumer demand for healthy and fresh seafood options could drive growth.
