Sweden dominates the global export of fresh or chilled whole herring, holding a 41.59% share. Denmark follows with 30.24%, and Norway and Finland account for smaller shares at 9.1% and 8.48%, respectively. The rest of the countries collectively contribute less than 10% of the market. Year-on-year, Sweden and Latvia saw growth in exports by 1.76% and 6.65%, respectively, while significant declines were noted in Russia and Luxembourg with -17.79% and -33.58%. Over the past five years, slow growth trends for Sweden and declining trends for countries like Germany and the U.S. are apparent.
Future trends to watch include:
- Sweden is likely to maintain its leading position, potentially increasing its share if enhancing sustainable practices.
- Developing markets in Asia may present growth opportunities if economic conditions improve.
- Further declines are expected in North American markets due to changing dietary preferences.
- The impact of international trade agreements or restrictions could alter export dynamics significantly.
