In 2023, the production of whole fresh sand sole in France's capture fisheries stood at approximately a baseline just above the forecast value for 2024, encouraging a slight downward trend anticipated over the subsequent years. Forecasts project a slight decline in production from 90.04 Metric Tons in 2024 to 89.56 Metric Tons in 2028. The average annual decrease over these five years reflects a modest declining trend in sand sole capture fisheries.

Future trends to monitor include:

The impact of climate change on marine ecosystems and the sand sole population.
Shifts in consumer demand and potential changes in fishing regulations.
Technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices that may affect production figures.
