In 2023, the production of gutted fresh inshore squids in capture fisheries in France was an important baseline for upcoming forecasts. The data indicates a steady growth in production: from 18.01 metric tons in 2024, it is projected to reach 22.53 metric tons by 2028. This represents a consistent annual growth rate. Year-on-year growth is anticipated at around 6.32% for 2025, 5.90% for 2026, 5.58% for 2027, and 5.23% for 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five forecasted years is approximately 5.75%, indicating sustained expansion in the industry.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of climate change on squid habitats, possibly influencing catch levels.
Market demand shifts, especially in Europe, which may affect production volumes.
Technological advancements in fishing techniques potentially increasing efficiency.
Regulatory changes in French fisheries policies aiming to balance sustainability with economic goals.
