In 2023, France led European whole fresh cuttlefish production for human consumption with nearly 10,000 metric tons, reflecting a 9% growth. The Netherlands showed a notable increase, slightly over 40%. Belgium and Portugal also saw positive growth, while Spain experienced a slight increase. Conversely, Italy, Greece, Ireland, and Croatia faced declining production, with Italy's output dropping the most at 11%. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate highlights consistency in production trends with notable resilience in certain markets.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in policy and sustainability measures affecting capture fisheries impacting the overall output.
- Rising consumer demand might foster innovation in preservation and transportation, particularly beneficial for smaller producers.
- Brexit and EU trade regulations could cause market adjustments influencing production and distribution across European countries.
