In 2023, the import of fresh or chilled live mussels to France stood at a certain quantity which we use as a basis for analyzing future trends. For the forecasted period, there is a noticeable year-on-year decline in the import volumes from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, imports are projected to decrease each year, marking a consistent downward trend with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflecting an average decline over five years. This highlights a diminishing demand or increased local production.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Environmental policies impacting aquaculture and local mussel cultivation.
- Shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards alternative proteins.
- Trade relations impacting seafood imports within the European Union.
