In 2023, Finland led the European Atlantic salmon production in capture fisheries for human consumption, accounting for almost half of the market share in value terms, despite a 3.02% decline from the previous year. Poland and Sweden followed, with the latter experiencing a notable decrease of 18.41%. Estonia and Germany showed a positive year-on-year growth of 6.72% and 7.68%, respectively, indicating emerging strengths. Conversely, Lithuania exited the market entirely. Denmark and Spain experienced significant declines, highlighting volatility in smaller markets.
Future trends to watch include the potential for Finland to maintain its leading position amid stable demand and emerging markets like Germany and Estonia, which may offer growth opportunities due to increasing production capacities. Fluctuating environmental conditions and policy changes could impact capture fisheries across Europe, with sustainability becoming a crucial focus.
