The forecast for whole fresh surmullet production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a steady growth from 2024 to 2028. If we assume that the value for 2023 was slightly lower than in 2024, the predictions show a gradual increase each year, from €16.869 million in 2024 to €20.629 million in 2028.

The year-on-year growth rates suggest a consistent upward trend. A comparison between 2024 and 2025 reveals a 5.66% increase, followed by a 5.30% rise between 2026 and 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period is projected to be approximately 5.16%, underscoring steady growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impact of climate change and environmental regulations on capture fisheries.
Shifts in consumer preferences and potential market expansion.
Technological advancements in fishing practices that could increase efficiency.
Policy developments in EU fisheries management affecting supply dynamics.
