The production of squids, cuttlefishes, and octopuses in France's capture fisheries for human consumption shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 14.3 thousand metric tons in 2024, it is expected to decrease annually, reaching 12.85 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decline, with the most noticeable drop between 2027 and 2028. This downward trend suggests a challenging period for the seafood sector, following the estimated value of 15.4 thousand metric tons in 2023, resulting in a negative compound annual growth rate over this five-year span.
Future trends to watch include potential environmental impacts on marine populations, regulatory changes affecting fishing quotas, and shifting consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood. These factors may further influence production levels and demand in the coming years.
