In 2023, France's fresh octopus capture fisheries stood at 1.67 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, production is expected to increase steadily, from 1.75 to 2.10 thousand metric tons. This represents a year-on-year growth rate ranging from 5.14% to 3.96% for each subsequent year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years forecasts an average yearly increase of 4.80%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity affecting octopus supply.
- Shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable seafood options.
- Regulatory changes in capture fisheries and their influence on production practices.
