The production of whole fresh stromboid conchs in France's capture fisheries for human consumption has been witnessing a gradual decline. In 2023, it stood at 16.66 thousand euros per metric ton. Our forecasts indicate a continued downward trend from 2024 to 2028, with each year experiencing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 7-9%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years is expected to be negative. This consistent reduction in value suggests ongoing challenges in the industry, possibly due to environmental, regulatory, or demand-side factors.
Looking towards future trends, factors such as climate change impacts on marine life, evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable and traceable seafood, and potential regulatory changes in the EU could significantly impact this sector. Stakeholders should monitor these areas to adapt their strategies and ensure sustainable production practices.
