In 2024, fresh bluntnose sixgill shark production in France is forecasted at 0.3 metric tons, a significant downturn from 3.7 metric tons in 2023. By 2028, forecasts indicate a further decline to 0.1 metric tons, highlighting a consistent decrease in production. Year-on-year, production is anticipated to tumble approximately 33% in 2025, remain flat in 2026 and 2027, and fall 50% in 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an ongoing negative average annual growth trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting capture fisheries practices.
- Environmental factors impacting shark populations and marine ecosystems.
- Shifts in consumer demand for lesser-known marine species.
