The forecast for total Norway lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France suggests a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.08 thousand metric tons in 2024 and decreasing to 1.47 thousand metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the production stood at an actual value of 2.15 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year drop is projected at approximately 7.2% from 2024 to 2025, 8.3% from 2025 to 2026, 8.5% from 2026 to 2027, and 9.3% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate over this period anticipates an average decrease of around 8.3% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change, regulatory changes in fishing quotas, shifts in market demand, and technology advancements in sustainable fishing practices, all of which could influence production levels in unexpected ways.
