In 2023, the production of whole fresh herrings and sardines for human consumption in France was not specified; however, forecasts for 2024 show production starting at 1.6 metric tons, increasing gradually to 2.3 metric tons by 2028. The projected year-on-year growth suggests a steady increase in production, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.2% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028. This consistent rise highlights a positive trend in the industry, driven by increased demand or improvements in capture fisheries.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential innovations in sustainable fishing practices that could impact production volume.
- Changes in regulatory policies affecting the fisheries sector.
- Market demand changes due to health trends or dietary shifts towards more fish consumption.
