In 2023, Norway led European Fresh Atlantic Mackerel production with 361.72 thousand metric tons, followed by Iceland and Ireland with 123.55 and 66.01 thousand metric tons, respectively. Most countries experienced a decline, notably Italy (-18.5%) and Greece (-17.24%). Meanwhile, Slovenia saw a significant increase (22.98%). Overall, trends depict minor to moderate declines, reflecting challenges within the fisheries sector due to ecological and regulatory constraints. The five-year CAGR reveals a consistent downward trajectory among smaller producers.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of climate change on mackerel habitats and shifts in demand patterns, coupled with evolving EU fishing regulations aimed at sustainable practices.
