The forecast of whole fresh monkfish production in France shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.58 thousand metric tons in 2024, it is expected to reach 1.75 thousand metric tons by 2028, demonstrating consistent year-on-year growth of around 3% from 2024 to 2025 and 2.5% from 2025 to 2026, with a similar trend continuing through 2028.
In 2023, the production was below 1.58 thousand metric tons. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is projected to be about 2.6%, signaling a stable uptrend in production.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of regulatory changes on capture fisheries, evolving consumer demand for monkfish, and environmental factors that may affect fish stock availability. Monitoring these factors could provide insights into the sustainability and economic viability of continued growth in monkfish production.
