In 2023, France's whole fresh seafood production in capture fisheries for human consumption was around 203.0 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, a forecasted decline is noted, starting at 199.37 thousand metric tons in 2024, reducing to 189.34 thousand metric tons by 2028. This equates to an average annual decrease (CAGR) of approximately 1.3% over the five-year period. Year-on-year declines range between 1.3% and 1.6%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Innovations in sustainable fishing practices that could mitigate production declines.
Potential regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas and operations.
Market demand fluctuations influenced by consumer preferences for seafood options.
