In 2023, the total Bigeye scad production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood below the forecasted values for future years. By 2028, this figure is expected to reach 57.4 metric tons. Notably, year-on-year production is set to rise by approximately 4-5% from 2024 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be modest, reflecting a steady increase.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from environmental changes affecting marine ecosystems, policy shifts in fishing regulations, and shifts in consumer demand that could influence production rates further. Monitoring these factors could provide deeper insights into longer-term production trends.
