In 2023, the production value of fresh shellfish in France's capture fisheries for human consumption was approximately 344.0 million Euros. Forecasts indicate a steady growth from 2024 to 2028. The annual values are projected to increase from 352.25 million Euros in 2024 to 384.42 million Euros in 2028. Year-on-year variations show an increase around 2.3% to 2.5% annually, indicative of a stable growth rate. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 2.2%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies influencing sustainable fishing practices, climate change effects on shellfish habitats, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating further changes in production trends.
