In 2023, France's fresh herring and sardine production in capture fisheries stood at approximately 1.4 metric tons. The forecast data for 2024 to 2028 suggests a positive growth trend. From 2024, production is expected to increase steadily: 1.6 metric tons in 2024, then growing consistently to 2.3 metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate an increase of 12.5% from 2024 to 2025, 11.1% from 2025 to 2026, 5% from 2026 to 2027, and 9.5% from 2027 to 2028. The compound average growth rate over the five-year period projects a strong annual increment, reflecting strategic optimization efforts in fisheries.
Future trends to watch include:
- Impact of climate change on fish populations and availability.
- Technological advancements in capture efficiency and sustainability.
- Regulatory changes impacting the fisheries industry.
- Shifts in consumer demand toward sustainably sourced fish products.
