European total molluscs production in capture fisheries for human consumption is led by France (25.86%) and Spain (21.41%). Italy follows as a close third (19.39%), while the United Kingdom and Portugal round out the top five. Noteworthy year-on-year changes in 2023 include an increase in production share for the Netherlands (5.03%), while Italy and France saw declines of 4.58% and 3.35%, respectively. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) reveal fluctuating dynamics among countries.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of climate change on molluscs' habitats, resulting in shifts in capture zones and production capacity. Watch for emerging technologies in sustainable fisheries and the role of European policies in shaping capture efficiencies and international trade agreements. Countries like the Netherlands and Iceland, with recent positive trends, might play an increasing role in European production share.
