The fresh queen scallop production in France, specifically for human consumption in capture fisheries, is set to gradually increase. Forecasts show a steady rise from 3.17 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 3.37 thousand metric tons by 2028. Notably, these figures reflect a consistent upward trend since 2023, which had actual production data slightly lower. Observations indicate year-on-year growth rates of approximately 1.89% on average across this period, suggesting a sustainable increase in production.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies on fisheries, advancements in sustainable fishing practices, and changes in consumer demand, which could influence both the volume and environmental sustainability of queen scallop production. Additionally, market dynamics such as export demand or regulation changes within the EU will provide further vectors for market evolution.
