In 2023, Sweden led European countries in the production value of whole fresh squids, cuttlefishes, and octopuses in capture fisheries, with significant margins over Italy and Cyprus. Countries like Croatia and Greece showed robust annual growth rates nearing 9% and 4.5% respectively, while Spain and Denmark experienced noticeable declines at -9.28% and -3.65%. Over the past five years, compounded annual growth rates reflect consistent upward trends, particularly for Croatia, whereas Norway experienced a significant downturn by over 20% in the last year.
Future trends to watch in European whole fresh squid, cuttlefish, and octopus production include potential shifts toward sustainable fishing practices, which may affect production capacities. Additionally, market demand driven by health and culinary trends could lead to increased investments in technology and infrastructure to boost efficiency and output. Monitoring international trade policies will also be crucial, as they could impact export strategies and market access.
