The forecast for whole fresh Sand Steenbras production in capture fisheries for human consumption in France indicates a gradual decrease from 72.76 metric tons in 2024 to 68.97 metric tons in 2028. Compared to 2023, the production value in 2024 shows a minor reduction. The year-on-year contraction from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 1.44%, followed by a similar declining trend of around 1.37% each subsequent year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period is around a negative 1.38%, reflecting a consistent downtrend.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of environmental policies aimed at sustainable fishing practices, which could further limit production levels. Additionally, market demand fluctuations and possible shifts towards alternative fish sources may influence future production volumes.
