The production of Fresh Thickback Sole in France for human consumption is forecasted to decline over the next five years, starting at 35.07 metric tons in 2024, and scaling down to 25.94 metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year decreases starting from 2024 are indicative of a consistent downward trend, with percentage reductions suggesting a shrinking output in the capture fisheries sector. The last observed CAGR is an insightful measure showing how the industry has adjusted over a longer period, reflecting an average annual decline, which, compared to 2023's figures, suggests a significant contraction in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes in fishing quotas, environmental factors affecting fish populations, and advancements in sustainable fishing practices. These will be key determinants of whether production stabilizes or continues to decline beyond 2028.
