The forecast for Fresh Smooth-hounds production for human consumption in France shows a stable outlook. Starting from 2024 with a value of 1.36 thousand euros per metric ton, the forecast remains steady at 1.37 thousand euros per metric ton from 2025 to 2028. This indicates a negligible year-on-year increase from 2024 to 2025, followed by a plateau.
Looking back, the price in 2023 stood at 1.36 thousand euros per metric ton. Over the past two years, this reflects an insignificant percentage increase. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecast period (2023-2028) suggests a minimal annual variation, reinforcing the stability in pricing.
Future trends to consider:
- Monitor environmental and ecological impacts affecting fisheries, potentially influencing supply and prices.
- Keep an eye on regulatory changes that may impact capture quotas or fishing practices.
- Assess any shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood or plant-based proteins which could impact demand.
