The forecast for whole fresh sandeels and sandlances production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the forecasted value is 86.24 thousand euros, dropping to 30.24 thousand euros by 2028. Compared to 2023, the production stood at a higher level, marking a significant decrease over the forecasted period.
The year-on-year percentage variation illustrates a sharp decline, with the most notable drop expected post-2025. Over the last two years, the trend depicts a considerable annual decrease, with the five-year CAGR pointing to a continuous reduction reflective of emerging market conditions and demand changes.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations on fishing activities, consumer shifts toward sustainable seafood, and potential economic factors that could either exacerbate or mitigate the forecasted decline in production.
