The forecast for France’s import of frozen whole halibut indicates a downward trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting from a value of 268.95 thousand US dollars in 2024, it is projected to decline steadily by 2028 to 157.23 thousand US dollars. Year-on-year, the value decreases by approximately 10-14%, demonstrating significant market contraction. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period suggests an average annual decline of around 10%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and local seafood options, regulatory changes affecting international seafood trade, and economic factors influencing discretionary spending on imported goods. Environmental and climatic shifts may also affect halibut availability, further influencing import volumes and values.
