In 2023, the import volume of frozen whole sardines, brisling, and sprats to the US stood below the forecasted 2024 value of 18.228 million kilograms. For the forecast period 2024 to 2028, a gradual upward trend in import volumes is observed, with values increasing from 18.228 million kilograms in 2024 to 21.999 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are consistent, reflecting a steady demand in the US market for these products.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier or environmentally sustainable food options.
Regulatory changes in fisheries that may affect sardine availability and pricing.
Impacts of global supply chain dynamics, including trade policies and international market competition.
