The global frozen sole export market in 2023 was dominated by the United States, leading with a significant export value. It was followed by the Netherlands and Germany, while various European countries and New Zealand held smaller shares. Exports saw varied year-on-year growth: substantial increases for Malaysia and Belgium, while Latvia and the Netherlands experienced notable declines. The recent 5-year trends indicate a general stability, with sporadic growth in certain countries, as seen with Slovenia.
Future trends to watch include the potential increase in market share for emerging exporters like Malaysia, driven by rising demand, and the effect of environmental regulations on traditional strong players' export volumes. Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood may also impact market dynamics in the coming years.
