In 2023, the value of alive fresh molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was recorded at a lower level than the 2024 forecast of 2.6 thousand euros per metric ton. Forecasts indicate a gradual increase each year, reaching 2.74 by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a steady growth trend averaging 1-2% annually, highlighting modest but continuous value increments.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from environmental policies and climate change, which could influence production and availability. Additionally, shifts in consumer demand towards sustainable and locally sourced seafood could further drive market dynamics.
