In 2023, the production of whole fresh megrim in France's capture fisheries stood at 74.19 metric tons. Forecasts indicate a slight annual decline, with production expected to reach 73.98 metric tons in 2024, gradually decreasing to 73.15 metric tons by 2028. This represents a very modest negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years. Year-on-year changes remain minimal at roughly 0.3% downward annually from 2024 onwards, reflecting stable but slightly declining supply levels. This trend signals a consistent, albeit small, reduction in production capabilities or demand for megrim in France.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes in fisheries management impacting megrim output.
- Environmental factors affecting the availability of megrim within local waters.
- Shifts in consumer preferences leading to changes in demand dynamics.
- Technological advancements in fishing that could influence capture efficiency.
