In 2023, the European market for prepared or preserved mackerel was dominated by Norway, accounting for nearly half of the total production. Poland closely followed, contributing to a significant portion of the market share. Other countries like Bulgaria, Lithuania, Italy, and Germany held minor shares. Notably, Norway saw a substantial year-on-year increase of over 37%, while Poland experienced a modest rise. Conversely, Lithuania's production declined by over 7%. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) highlights Norway and Poland's strengthening positions in the market.
Looking ahead, future trends to watch include potential growth in other emerging markets within Europe. With sustainability and traceability becoming increasingly important, technological advancements in production could shift shares, potentially giving smaller producers an opportunity to increase their market presence. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options could influence production techniques and market shares across Europe.
