The production value of alive fresh sharks, rays, and chimaeras in France's capture fisheries is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. The data shows a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 5% over the forecasted period. In 2023, the base year prior to these forecasts, the production value needs to be noted to establish comparison levels. However, based on the trend analysis from 2024 onwards, there is a consistent upward trajectory in economic value.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies which may affect fishing practices and quotas.
- Market demand shifts for sustainable seafood options influencing capture levels.
- Technological advancements in fishing and processing impacting efficiency and value.
