In 2023, fresh carp production for human consumption in France was estimated at a value of 21.1 metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 onwards shows a consistent upward trend in production values, with projected quantities rising steadily each year—an increase to 24.9 metric tons in 2024 and reaching 38.6 metric tons by 2028. This reflects a robust growth pattern, with a projected average annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period being particularly positive.

Looking ahead, watch for:

Consumer preferences shifting towards sustainable and locally sourced fish options.
Potential impacts of climatic and ecological changes on aquatic ecosystems and carp populations.
The influence of regulatory policies on fishing practices and market dynamics.
