In 2023, the production value of whole fresh aquatic animals in France's capture fisheries for industrial processing was estimated at a slightly lower benchmark than the 990.68 euros per metric ton recorded in 2024. The forecast data reflects a modest but consistent annual growth trend: 0.21% from 2024 to 2025, followed by 0.17% from 2025 to 2026, 0.13% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.11% from 2027 to 2028. This indicates a positive outlook with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years likely to be around 0.15%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in global demand for sustainably sourced seafood.
- Impact of regulatory changes on fishing practices and production costs.
- Technological advancements driving efficiencies and potentially increasing output and processing quality.
- Potential supply chain disruptions due to climate change affecting aquatic ecosystems.
