The forecast for the whole fresh blue shark production in capture fisheries in France suggests a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The value of this production is expected to decrease from 1.58 to 1.37 thousand euros per metric ton over these years. This marks a year-on-year percentage decrease of approximately 3.8% from 2024 to 2025, and a similar trend continues annually with subtle decreases. By examining a broader scope, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over five years hints at a consistent decline in market value. In 2023, prior to these forecasts, the market stood marginally steadier than the anticipated downward trend.
Key trends to monitor for future forecasts include potential regulatory changes in fishing policies, shifts in consumer demand for seafood, and environmental factors impacting shark populations. Economic factors influencing broader seafood markets could also play a crucial role in shaping these projections.
