As of 2023, the production of whole fresh nursehound in capture fisheries for human consumption in France stood at a certain benchmark considered actual. Starting from 2024, forecasts indicate a steady annual increase, moving from 634.78 to 769.14 thousand Euros by 2028. This consistent upward trend exhibits an average year-on-year growth rate of around 5%, reflecting a growing demand and possibly increasing market prices. Over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be notable, suggesting a robust expansion in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential regulatory changes in capture fisheries, shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable and locally sourced seafood, and the impact of climate change on marine biodiversity affecting nursehound availability. Additionally, technological advancements in fishing methods and distribution could further influence production scales.
