In 2023, France dominated the European fresh eel capture fisheries market for human consumption, holding a significant share of 47.26%. Denmark and Poland followed at 21.36% and 15.17%, respectively. The overall market showed varied year-on-year trends, with notable growth in Estonia at 72.3% and Germany at 10.49%. Conversely, significant declines were observed in Spain (-27.26%) and Italy (-51.64%).
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in major market leaders due to policy changes, sustainable fishing practices, and changing consumer preferences. Innovations in aquaculture and trade adjustments, especially post-Brexit, could impact the UK's negligible contribution to this sector.
