The forecast for whole fresh small-spotted catshark production in France is projected to gradually increase from 2024 to 2028, with values moving from €517.65 per metric ton in 2024 to €518.89 in 2028. As data from 2023 is not provided, we cannot ascertain the baseline for comparison, but a steady year-on-year growth of around 0.1% is observed. Over five years, the compound annual growth rate is modest, reflecting a stable but slow upward trend in production value.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and alternative seafood, which could impact demand.
- Potential regulatory shifts affecting capture fisheries and their operational costs.
- Environmental changes influencing availability and catch volumes of small-spotted catshark.
