The forecast for gutted fresh shellfish production in capture fisheries in France indicates a steady growth from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.09 thousand Euros per metric ton in 2024, the value is projected to reach 8.8 thousand Euros per metric ton by 2028. This represents an average yearly increase of approximately 2.12% over the forecast period. In comparison to 2023 figures, where the production value stood at 7.95 thousand Euros per metric ton, this trend showcases the sector's gradual but consistent upward trajectory in value.
Future trends to watch for include:
- An increase in sustainable fishing practices which may affect production costs and pricing.
- Potential impacts of climate change on shellfish populations and catch volumes.
- Regulatory changes in the EU that could influence market dynamics.
