The European market for whole fresh flounders, halibuts, and soles in capture fisheries was dominated by France in 2023, holding the largest share. Norway showed notable growth compared to the previous year, while Spain, Italy, and Germany experienced declines. The Netherlands and Romania saw significant increases in their shares, while Poland, Denmark, and Lithuania faced substantial drops. Over the last five years, there has been a varied CAGR, with some countries like the Netherlands advancing and others, such as Slovenia, retracting.
Future trends in the sector may include environmental regulations influencing capture practices, shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable sources, and potential impacts from geopolitical changes on fishing rights and market access. These factors could lead to a reallocation of shares among European countries in the fisheries market.
