In 2023, France's production of whole fresh wedge sole from capture fisheries was approximately 485 metric tons. The projected figures for 2024 through 2028 show a consistent annual increase, reaching 510.5 metric tons by 2028. Year-over-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is anticipated at approximately 1.06%, with similar annual increases projected through 2028. These values indicate a steady upward trend, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1% over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of climate change on fish habitats and stock levels, which could influence future yields.
Regulatory changes in the European fisheries sector that might affect production capacities.
Technological advancements in fishing methodologies enhancing efficiency and yield.
