The forecast for France indicates a stable production of headed gutted fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles within capture fisheries from 2024 to 2028, with a consistent projected output of 0.49 metric tons from 2025 onwards. In 2023, production was at 0.48 metric tons, suggesting minimal change over the subsequent years. The annual growth rate between 2024 and 2025 is approximately 2.08%, with stability thereafter. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years from 2024 to 2028 is effectively flat given the consistent production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes on fishing quotas, shifts in consumer demand for sustainable seafood, and environmental factors affecting fish populations that could alter these steady forecasts.
