In 2023, Spain led the European import market for frozen fish meat (excluding fillets), accounting for a 17.83% share. France and Germany followed closely with 16.54% and 16.32% respectively. Significant variances included positive growth in the Netherlands and Portugal (2.8% and 2.37%), while the UK and Slovakia saw declines of -3.19% and -2.96%. Malta experienced the most considerable growth at 14.33%.
Looking ahead, several future trends warrant attention:
- A potential increase in market share by smaller countries like Croatia, Slovenia, and Malta with high growth rates.
- Possible challenges due to declines in traditionally strong markets like the UK and Slovakia.
- The impact of evolving trade policies and environmental regulations on imports.
