In 2023, the fresh sardine production in capture fisheries for industrial processing in France was reported at 978.8 Euros per metric ton. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady increase in production value, with a year-on-year growth ranging from 0.15% to 0.18%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is estimated to be approximately 0.17%.

The forecast indicates a marginally growing trend in the value, reflecting stability in the industry.

Future trends to watch for:

Environmental sustainability measures may impact fishing practices and productivity.
Market demand for sardine-based products in Europe could influence pricing.
Regulatory changes and tariffs within the EU could affect export dynamics.
