The production of alive fresh aquatic animals in the capture fisheries sector for human consumption in France is forecasted to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 45.5 thousand metric tons in 2024, the projected production demonstrates a consistent year-on-year growth, peaking at 56.85 thousand metric tons in 2028. This growth trajectory represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. The previous year's baseline (2023) production was recorded at 43.0 thousand metric tons. The data indicates a substantial upward trend prompted by sustainable fishing practices and increased demand for fresh aquatic products.
Future trends to watch for:
- Adoption of technology in sustainable fishing practices.
- Impact of EU policies on fishing quotas and trade regulations.
- Changing consumer preferences toward fresh and sustainable seafood.
