The production of gutted fresh crustaceans in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is forecasted to remain consistent at 0.5 metric tons in 2024 and 2025, before decreasing to 0.4 metric tons from 2026 through 2028. This indicates a stable short-term output followed by a decline. In 2023, the production is estimated to have stood at approximately 0.5 metric tons, suggesting a minimal decrease of around 20% by 2026 compared to 2023 levels. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period projects a decrease trend, albeit marginal.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental regulations impacting capture fisheries.
- Shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood sources.
- Potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture.
