The forecast for Fresh Great Mediterranean Scallop production in French capture fisheries indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, starting at 4.4 metric tons and reaching 5.5 metric tons by 2028. This represents a gradual year-on-year growth: approximately 6.8% from 2024 to 2025, 6.4% from 2025 to 2026, 6% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.8% from 2027 to 2028. From 2023 levels, this consistent increase highlights a positive trend in scallop availability. The 5-year compound annual growth rate averages 5.1%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, policy shifts in capture fisheries regulation, and technological advances in sustainable fishing practices. Monitoring consumer demand shifts towards sustainable seafood will also be crucial.
