In 2023, Spain led European shrimp and prawn production with approximately €156 million, followed by Italy and Norway. Notably, Portugal and France exhibited positive growth with 8.53% and 5.06% increases, respectively. In contrast, significant declines were observed in Denmark, Iceland, and the UK. Cyprus and Bulgaria, although smaller markets, experienced substantial percentage increases. Belgium and Croatia saw marginal growth. Over the last five years, the average annual growth rates indicate a varied regional performance, reflecting diverse local developments and market dynamics.
Future trends to monitor include potential increases in sustainable fishing practices, technological advancements in capture methods, and shifts in consumer preferences towards wild-caught seafood, which may influence production levels across these countries.
