The United Kingdom led European production in 2023, far surpassing other countries in the value of Norway lobster capture, followed by Denmark and France. Significant year-on-year increases were seen in Greece and Norway, while Italy and Portugal suffered notable declines. Over the last five years, the Netherlands showed strong upward momentum, indicating a significant compound annual growth rate, contrasting the downward trend in Italy.
Looking ahead, attention should be focused on innovations in sustainable fishing practices and impacts of climate change on lobster habitats, especially in countries with declining trends. Maintaining competitive advantage will require countries to adapt strategies for sustainable growth and market demands.
