In 2023, France's production of whole fresh herrings and sardines stood at a baseline level. From 2024 onwards, production is forecasted to grow steadily from 1.6 metric tons to 2.3 metric tons by 2028. This projected growth implies a notable year-on-year increase, peaking at approximately 14% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is calculated at 9.03%, indicating robust long-term growth prospects.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, regulatory shifts in fisheries management, and evolving consumer preferences toward sustainable products. These factors could significantly influence production trends in the coming years.
