In 2023, the whole fresh cuttlefish production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was estimated at approximately 10.0 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, production is expected to grow steadily, reaching 11.89 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate of approximately 3.45%, demonstrating a positive trend in the French fisheries sector for cuttlefish. The year-on-year analysis reveals consistent growth with an approximate increase of 3.76% from 2025 to 2026 and 3.42% from 2026 to 2027.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in regulations impacting capture fisheries and their potential effects on production levels.
Consumer demand patterns both domestically and in export markets.
Environmental factors, such as climate change, that may influence fish stock availability.
Innovations in sustainable fishing practices and technologies.
