In 2023, the whole fresh sardine production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France was valued at a notable rate per metric ton. From 2024 onwards, forecasted data indicates a consistent upward trend in prices. The price per metric ton is expected to rise steadily each year, reaching a notable increase by 2028. Year-on-year, there are slight yet consistent percentage increases.

Future trends to watch for include:

Impact of climate change on sardine populations and subsequent production levels.
Potential changes in consumer demand for sardines and similar seafood products.
Regulatory developments affecting capture fisheries and environmental sustainability efforts.
