As of 2023, the total queen scallop production in capture fisheries in France stood at an actual value, aiding in contextualizing the forecasted growth. From 2024 to 2028, production is expected to rise from 3.27 to 3.38 thousand metric tons. This reflects a subtle, consistent upward trend, with year-on-year increases ranging between 0.61% and 0.88%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is modest, reinforcing consistent but slow expansion in the industry.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of environmental regulations and sustainable practices on production.
- The influence of climate change on ocean ecosystems and queen scallop habitats.
- Potential market demands and shifts within the European seafood sector.
