In 2023, fresh megrim production in capture fisheries in France stood at 1.98 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a decreasing trend with values dropping from 1.92 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 1.71 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year percentage decrease of about 3.1% from 2024 to 2025, slowing slightly to an average annual compound rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.8% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from regulatory changes, shifts in market demand, and climate variability affecting fish stocks, which could further influence production volumes in the coming years.
