In 2023, Italy led European frozen crustaceans production for human consumption with a value of 31.67 thousand euros per metric ton, followed by Portugal and Spain at 18.26 and 12.44, respectively. Denmark and Iceland experienced declines in production value, while the Netherlands saw a substantial increase of 71.52%. Germany, United Kingdom, and France maintained relatively stable figures, showing modest single-digit growth. Year-over-year trends highlight increasing values for most countries except Denmark and Iceland, with competitive dynamics shifting due to the Netherlands' surge.
Looking ahead, continued growth is anticipated for most leading producers, driven by innovation in capture fisheries and increased demand for sustainable and high-quality crustaceans in Europe. Monitoring environmental policies and technological advancements will be crucial for future analysis in this sector.
