The forecast for India's import of frozen whole sardines, brisling, and sprats indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 525.38 thousand USD in 2024 and decreasing annually to 504.16 thousand USD in 2028. This decline represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 1% each year. With the cumulative decline over this period, this reflects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -1.03%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in domestic production levels which may affect import demand.
Fluctuations in global sardine prices and how they influence India's import policies.
Shifts in consumer preferences towards or away from these fish species.
Possible regulatory changes affecting trade, such as tariffs or quotas.
