In 2023, Norway led European aquatic animal production in capture fisheries for human consumption, with an actual value of 2.2582 billion Euros. Spain followed closely, with Iceland and France also contributing significant figures. Germany and Poland saw notable declines in production, while Portugal and Belgium observed growth. Over the last two years, year-on-year variations reveal most countries experiencing fluctuations, with many facing declines, particularly Germany and Sweden, suggesting potential structural market challenges.
Future trends to watch include:
- Technological advancements in sustainable fishing to boost output.
- Impact of environmental regulations on capture fisheries strategies.
- Expansion of domestic and export markets to stabilize production levels.
- Adapting to climate change affecting fish populations and production.
- Potential growth opportunities in alternative protein sources affecting demand.
