The forecast for whole fresh scallops and pectens production through capture fisheries in France indicates a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at a value of 28.134 million euros in 2024, the production is expected to decrease yearly, reaching 21.899 million euros in 2028. Compared to 2023 figures, this reflects a continual downtrend from the previous years, indicating a significant reduction in market value over time.
Year-on-year variations reveal a steady decline, and this pattern suggests that adverse factors might be influencing production levels. Furthermore, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for these five years underlines an average decline annually, exacerbating concerns about the industry's sustainability.
Future trends to watch include potential regulatory changes, shifts in consumer demand for scallops, and environmental factors impacting marine life and fishery outputs. Adapting to these trends will be crucial for sustaining or potentially reversing the declines in production value.
