The production of whole fresh crustaceans in France's capture fisheries for human consumption is projected to decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, production is expected to be 6.23 thousand metric tons, showing a decrease from the actual 2023 levels. The downward trend continues annually with year-on-year decreases: 5.88 thousand metric tons in 2025, 5.54 in 2026, 5.2 in 2027, and 4.87 in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period indicates an overall negative growth, underscoring a steady decline in production.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impact of sustainable fishing practices on production levels.
Changes in consumer demand for crustaceans amidst environmental concerns.
Impact of climate change on marine life and subsequent availability of crustaceans.
Technological advancements in aquaculture as a supplement to capture fisheries.
