In 2023, the total production of Round Sardinella in France's capture fisheries was estimated to be 3.8 metric tons. The forecast data from 2024 indicates a decline in production, dropping to 3.7 metric tons in 2024 and reaching 3.4 metric tons by 2028. This represents a consistent decrease, with a year-on-year variation of approximately 2.7% between 2024 and 2025, and further reductions projected.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period suggests an average annual decline of about 2.7%. Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental changes, regulatory shifts, and market demand fluctuations which could further influence capture volumes and sustainability efforts in the fishing industry.
