The forecasted imports of fresh or chilled plaice to France show a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the imports stood at an unspecified baseline; however, from 2024 onwards, we see a gradual year-on-year increase: 0.93% from 2024 to 2025, 0.91% from 2025 to 2026, 0.89% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.88% from 2027 to 2028. Over these five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects a modest but consistent growth under 1%.
The sustained growth can be attributed to factors such as stable consumer demand, increased supply chain efficiencies, and market expansion. Looking ahead, key trends to watch include potential regulatory changes on imports, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability, and impacts of economic conditions on seafood demand. Monitoring these aspects will be crucial for stakeholders in the industry.
