In 2023, Norway led European claws crustaceans production with 4.01 thousand metric tons, followed by Denmark at 0.31307 thousand metric tons. The United Kingdom saw a notable decline of 14.21% in production, while Norway experienced a strong growth of 19.11%. Ireland and Sweden saw decreases at -1.2% and -2.85%, respectively. In contrast, Denmark and France showed positive trends with increases of 10.66% and 5.13%. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) indicated steady growth for most countries except for stagnation or decline in the UK and Ireland.
Looking ahead, climate change and geopolitical factors are expected to play significant roles in influencing production volumes. Advancements in sustainable fishing practices may also impact country-wise outputs, potentially leading to shifts in annual productivity of claws crustaceans across Europe.
