In 2024, France's capture fisheries production of Herrings, Sardines, and Anchovies is forecasted at 22.42 thousand metric tons. In 2023, actual production was 25.00 thousand metric tons, indicating a decline. The year-on-year decline in 2025 is anticipated at approximately 11.4%, followed by a decrease of around 12.8% in 2026, 14.4% in 2027, and 16.8% in 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over 2024 to 2028 is expected to be -13.2%, highlighting a consistent downward trend in production.
Future trends to watch include the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems, regulatory changes in fishing quotas, and consumer demand shifts towards sustainable seafood options which may influence France's capture fisheries sector significantly.
