In 2024, the forecast for the re-import of fresh or chilled live mussels to France is 108.7 thousand kilograms. This represents a decreasing trend over the forecast period, with a year-on-year decline of approximately 0.46% to 0.5% each year until 2028. Notably, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -0.44% annually. For context, in 2023, the re-import volume was slightly higher, indicating a consistent but modest decline projected over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from environmental factors affecting mussel farming, changes in international trade policies, and evolving consumer preferences towards local versus imported seafood. These could further influence the decline or stabilize the re-import volumes.
