As of 2023, France's gutted frozen finfish production from capture fisheries stood at 15.6 metric tons. Projections show a gradual decline, starting at 15.4 metric tons in 2024, decreasing annually by approximately 0.2 metric tons to reach 14.7 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease accelerates from 1.3% in 2025 to about 0.7% in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.1% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in sustainable fishing practices and technological innovations which may stabilize or potentially increase production efficiency. Environmental regulations and consumer preferences for sustainable seafood could also impact future production levels.
