The production of gutted frozen finfish in capture fisheries for human consumption in France has been experiencing a steady decline. In 2023, the production stood at 15.6 metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts point to a gradual decrease from 15.4 to 14.7 metric tons. Notably, there is a year-on-year decrease of approximately 1.3% between each forecasted year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be around -1.47%, indicating a consistent downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of regulatory changes on fishing practices, advances in sustainable fishing technologies, and shifts in consumer preferences toward alternative protein sources. Monitoring these factors will be essential to understand and potentially mitigate the declines in production.
