The fresh solenette production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is predicted to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028, dropping from 0.9 metric tons to just 0.1 metric tons. Compared to 2023, where the production stood at 1.1 metric tons, this represents a continuous decreasing trend. The year-on-year declines include a 22.2% drop from 2024 to 2025, and a sequential 28.6% reduction each subsequent year, reflecting a stark downward trajectory in production levels. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a substantial contraction in production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies impacting fishing practices and conserving marine biodiversity.
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing methods.
- Shifts in consumer demand towards alternative or sustainable seafood options.
- Economic factors, including costs of production and market prices, influencing profitability and production scale in capture fisheries.
