The forecast for the production of gutted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in France’s capture fisheries indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The production volume is expected to decrease steadily from 5.91 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 5.64 thousand metric tons by 2028. In 2023, the production stood at higher levels than the forecast period. The annual year-on-year decrease is approximately 1.2%, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is negative, highlighting a consistent reduction in production output.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential regulatory impacts on fisheries that could further affect production volumes.
Environmental changes that may influence fish populations and, consequently, supply.
Technological advancements in capture and sustainability practices that could modify future forecasts.
