In 2024, France's aquaculture production of marine and partly-marine species is expected to start at 180.92 thousand metric tons, signifying a decline from the 2023 level of 182.78 thousand metric tons. This declining trend persists through 2028, with a forecasted production value of 174.5 thousand metric tons by then. Year-on-year, the sector faces a consistent decrease, reflecting a -0.92% decline in 2025 and continuing towards a -0.86% yearly reduction by 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reveals an annual average decrease of approximately -0.90%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental regulations could further impact production capabilities.
- Technological advancements in sustainable aquaculture practices may alter decline rates.
- Market demand fluctuations, influenced by consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood sources, may affect production volume.
- Potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems could alter species availability.
