The production of whole fresh sandeels and sandlances in France is projected to decline from 2024 onwards. Starting at 77.99 thousand euros in 2024, it will decrease steadily, reaching 12.48 thousand euros by 2028. This descending trend reflects significant reductions, emphasized by notable year-on-year percentage drops: a 21.25% decrease from 2024 to 2025, followed by a 26.80%, 36.29%, and 56.39% decline annually until 2028. The last Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicates an average decline of 31.4% per year.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in market dynamics that might influence this declining trend, the impact of regulatory policies on fisheries management, and any technological advancements that could alter production efficiencies or alternatives in capture fisheries in France.
