In 2023, whole fresh grooved carpet shell production in capture fisheries in France was at 2 metric tons. Looking ahead, forecasts indicate a downward trend, with production expected to decrease consistently over the next five years—from 1.8 metric tons in 2024 down to 1 metric ton in 2028. This represents a total decrease of 44.4% from 2024 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this period is -11.8%, highlighting a significant decline in annual production volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes affecting fisheries, shifts in consumer demand, and environmental factors impacting shellfish habitats. These could influence production levels, either providing opportunities for stabilization or causing further declines.
