As of 2023, the value of whole fresh grooved sea-squirt production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was the baseline for forecasting. From 2024 onwards, forecasted data shows a gradual decline in value from €4.94 thousand per metric ton in 2024 to €4.81 thousand per metric ton by 2028. The year-on-year decline is consistent, highlighting a subtle yet persistent decrease in value.
- The drop from 2024 to 2025: 0.61%
- From 2025 to 2026: 0.61%
- From 2026 to 2027: 0.82%
- From 2027 to 2028: 0.62%
- CAGR (2024-2028): ~0.66% decline annually
Future trends to watch for include impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity, shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainably sourced seafood, and regulatory changes in fisheries management. These factors may either accelerate the decline or offer opportunities for stabilization and recovery in the sector.
