The forecast for total Atlantic mackerel production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a consistent downward trend. Starting at 6.86 thousand metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decrease to 5.86 thousand metric tons by 2028. This reflects an approximate year-on-year decline of 3.8% from 2025 to 2028. In comparison, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is estimated at around -3.7% annually.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include potential shifts in fishery management policies, changes in consumer demand influenced by sustainability considerations, and the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, which could further affect fish stock availability and production capacities.
