In 2023, the production of whole fresh carps and barbels in France's capture fisheries was approximately 6 metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 suggest a continuous decline, with values dropping from 5.8 metric tons in 2024 to 5.1 metric tons in 2028. This reflects a shrinking trend over the forecast period.
The year-on-year change indicates a decreasing trend, with an annual decline ranging from 3.4% between 2024 and 2025 to a stable -1.9% from 2026 to 2028. The Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be negative, underscoring the sector's shrinking volume.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental regulations potentially impacting production levels.
- Market demand shifts towards sustainable and locally sourced products.
- Evolution of consumer preferences possibly encouraging aquaculture expansion.
