In the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, the value of fresh European plaice production in France's capture fisheries is projected to decline steadily, following a consistent downward trend. From €2.05 million in 2024, the forecast predicts values plummeting to €0.96 million by 2028. This implies a significant contraction, with year-on-year decreases gradually accelerating over the years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects this downward trajectory, indicating a persistent drop in financial returns from this sector.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include the impacts of environmental changes and regulatory policies on capture fisheries, as well as shifts in consumer preferences that may drive demand for sustainable and alternative seafood sources. Additionally, technological advancements in fishing practices and their adoption could play a critical role in shaping future production and profitability.
