As of 2023, the actual production of smooth-hounds in capture fisheries in France stood at approximately 2.98 thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, we are looking at forecasted data, beginning with 3.02 thousand metric tons and rising steadily to 3.15 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate a fairly consistent increment of around 1% each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 through 2028 projects an average annual increase of approximately 1.06%.
For future trends, it is crucial to monitor any changes in environmental regulations, sustainable fishing practices, and consumer demand for smooth-hounds, which could influence these forecasted values. Additionally, shifts in marine ecosystems or economic variables like fishing fleet capabilities might also impact future production levels.
