The forecast for total solenette production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. This trend follows a decreasing pattern starting from 0.9 metric tons in 2024, dropping by 0.2 metric tons annually until it reaches 0.1 metric tons in 2028. As of 2023, the production level was steady, but projections indicate a significant downturn in the forthcoming years.
Year-on-year analysis reveals a steady decline of approximately 28.57% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) depicting average decline over the five-year period stands at a significant -46.79%, reflecting a persistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change, regulatory restrictions, and shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative or sustainable seafood options. Observing how these factors affect the capture fisheries' practices will be crucial for assessing future production potential.
