From 2013 to 2023, the market size volume per capita of processed sardines, sardinella, brisling, and sprats in Poland showed fluctuations, peaking at 0.38 kilograms in 2016 and steadily declining to 0.26 kilograms in 2023. The market experienced notable declines post-2017, maintaining a stable phase from 2019 to 2022, before dipping slightly again in 2023. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years indicates a negative trend, reflecting a decline in consumption.
Looking forward, trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier or plant-based alternatives, sustainability concerns affecting fish sourcing, and economic factors such as inflation influencing purchasing power and consumer habits. Monitoring these could reveal potential recovery opportunities or further declines in market size.
