In 2023, France imported approximately 2.596 million kilograms of frozen rock lobster and other sea crawfish. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a slight but consistent decline, with imports projected to decrease gradually by 0.06% each year on average, leading to 2.5904 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a stable, minimal contraction in import volumes.
Key trends to watch include:
- Potential changes in global supply chain dynamics that may affect availability and prices.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards local or alternative seafood options.
- Regulatory changes impacting seafood imports and sustainability standards.
