In France, the forecast for fresh mackerel scad production in capture fisheries intended for human consumption from 2024 to 2028 displays a consistent output of 0.3 Metric Tons for 2024 and 2025, followed by a slight increase to 0.4 Metric Tons from 2026 to 2028. As of the 2023 baseline, the production is steady, resulting in a 33% year-on-year increase from 2025 to 2026, which then stabilizes with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.25% over five years.
Future trends to watch include possible fluctuations in demand due to changes in consumer preferences, environmental impacts affecting fishery yields, and regulatory developments. Monitoring these factors will be critical for understanding potential shifts in production volume.
