As of 2023, the production of whole fresh witch flounder in France was 14.1 metric tons. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a slight upward trend, starting at 14.2 metric tons in 2024 and increasing to 14.4 metric tons by 2028. This represents minimal year-on-year growth, with only a 0.7% increase over the five-year period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is indeed very modest, reflecting stable production levels with slow growth.
Future trends to watch include potential fluctuations in fisheries' productivity due to climate change, regulatory adjustments affecting fishing quotas, and shifts in consumer demand towards more sustainable and diverse seafood options. Monitoring these factors could indicate more significant changes in production levels beyond current forecasts.
