The forecast for France's production of fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in capture fisheries for human consumption indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the value is expected to be 91.174 million euros, decreasing steadily each year to 82.834 million euros by 2028. This represents a continuous year-on-year decline in production value, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggesting an overall negative trend over the five-year period. As of 2023, the production stood at a higher value, underscoring a negative outlook initiated from 2024 onwards.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on marine environments, regulatory changes in fisheries management, and shifts in consumer demand toward sustainable seafood options. Additionally, advancements in aquaculture technology may offer alternative sources for these fish species, possibly affecting future capture fisheries production values.
