As of 2023, the value of gutted fresh small-spotted catshark production in France's capture fisheries for human consumption was 975.24 Euros per metric ton. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a declining trend in value, starting from 939.92 Euros per metric ton in 2024 and decreasing each year to reach 789.8 Euros per metric ton by 2028. This represents an approximate average annual decrease of 4% (CAGR) over these five years, suggesting potential challenges in sustaining the value of this fishery resource.

Future trends to watch for:

Monitoring changes in consumer demand for small-spotted catshark products, as preferences may impact production value.
Possible shifts in fisheries management policies aimed at sustainability, which could alter production volumes and associated values.
Global market fluctuations that might influence local pricing and competitive dynamics within the European seafood industry.
