In 2024, Norway is the leading producer of fresh Atlantic mackerel in capture fisheries in Europe, commanding 52.18% of the share, followed by Iceland at 19.86% and the United Kingdom at 9.73%. Over the past two years, Norway saw an increase of 6.27%, while the United Kingdom experienced a decline of 6.2%. Significant growth was observed in Cyprus and Slovenia, with increases of 8.63% and 22.98% respectively. Conversely, Malta, Germany, and Italy saw marked declines in production share.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in production patterns due to environmental regulations and climate change impacts on fish populations. Countries with declining shares, particularly Denmark and the United Kingdom, may need to innovate or diversify to maintain their presence in the market. Additionally, the continuous emergence of technological advancements in sustainable fishing could reshape the landscape, affecting both the volume and methods of production across Europe.
