The total blue mussel production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France is projected to decline consistently from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 920.42 thousand euros in 2024, the value decreases yearly by percentages between approximately 6% to 7%, reflecting a moderate downward trend. In 2023, the production value was 976.47 thousand euros, indicating an annual average decline of around 7% over the five-year forecast period, representing the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
Future trends to watch for include potential market influences such as environmental changes impacting mussel habitats, shifts in consumer demand for seafood, governmental fishing policies, and advancements in aquaculture that may offset capture production declines. Adapting to these factors will be crucial for market stakeholders.
