In 2023, the production of fresh crustaceans in France's capture fisheries stood as a baseline before experiencing forecasted declines. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent decrease is observed, beginning at 12.92 thousand metric tons and reaching 12.04 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year reductions are recorded, averaging around a 2% decline, reflecting ongoing pressures in the industry. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights an average decrease, emphasizing persistent negative growth in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential environmental regulations impacting habitat and supply, evolving consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood, and advancements in aquaculture possibly offsetting the capture fisheries decline. Monitoring these factors is vital for adapting strategies and ensuring sustainable production and market stability.
