The forecast for France's total marine fish production in capture fisheries for human consumption predicts a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with figures decreasing from 793.83 metric tons in 2024 to 730.14 metric tons in 2028. Starting from an actual output of 810 metric tons in 2023, this indicates a consistent negative year-on-year variation. The average annual decline from 2024 to 2028, calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), has been roughly estimated at a small negative percentage, demonstrating diminishing returns.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impacts of regulatory changes in the European fisheries policy.
- Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable fish sources.
- Potential effects of climate change on fish populations and habitats.
- Technological advancements in seafood farming as an alternative supply source.
