In 2023, the production of Fresh Sand Steenbras in France's capture fisheries for human consumption stood at 73.5 metric tons. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a declining trend, with values decreasing from 72.5 to 68.79 metric tons. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, with variation percentages illustrating a notable decline: -1.43% in 2025, -1.36% in 2026, -1.26% in 2027, and -1.18% in 2028. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects an average annual decrease of 1.32%.

Looking forward, several trends may influence production levels:

Sustainability efforts in fisheries management and regulatory changes.
Environmental factors and changes in marine biodiversity.
Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative seafood or plant-based options.
