In 2023, Denmark led the European total Norway lobster production in capture fisheries for human consumption, followed closely by the United Kingdom and France. Notably, Denmark and Germany experienced minor increases in production, whereas the Netherlands and Norway showed significant growth rates. Conversely, Italy, Portugal, and Spain saw notable declines, with Italy witnessing the steepest drop. Over the past two years, Greece's share increased substantially, counterbalanced by decreases in Spain and Sweden. The five-year annual growth rates portray varied trends, with countries like Norway and Greece experiencing growth, contrasted by declines in Italy and Portugal.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts driven by regulatory changes and environmental factors affecting fisheries. There may be increased emphasis on sustainable practices, fostering growth in countries investing in technology and conservation, while others may face challenges due to stricter quotas and environmental impacts.
