The European sold production of prepared or preserved crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates in 2023 showed significant variability across countries. Spain leads with 135.1 million kilograms, reflecting a strong year-on-year growth of 14.22%. This is followed by France and Portugal, both showing moderate increases of 1.89%. Norway stands out with the highest year-on-year growth rate at 50.38%, while the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and Greece experienced declines. Notably, Estonia also registered positive growth with a 7.49% increase, contrasting with a sharp decline in Lithuania at -20.95%. Other countries exhibit minor fluctuations with modest growth or decline.
Future trends to watch include Spain's continued leadership and expansion in this market, driven by domestic demand and export opportunities. Norway's significant growth trajectory may continue as it leverages its strong aquaculture sector. Meanwhile, countries like the United Kingdom and Belgium might need strategies to reverse their declining production trends. Technological advancements, consumer preferences towards sustainable and conveniently packaged marine products, and trade policies will critically influence future dynamics in this industry.
