In 2023, the United States led global prepared or preserved lobster exports, closely followed by Ireland, both capturing significant shares. The United Kingdom, Belgium, and Japan also had notable contributions. Key trends included strong growth from Japan (30.93% YoY) and emerging markets such as South Korea (42.72%) and Taiwan (67.09%). In contrast, India and the Philippines saw declines. Over the past five years, the CAGR highlights steady growth for top exporters, although smaller markets like Taiwan are rapidly expanding.
Future trends to watch include the potential for emerging exporters to gain ground and increased demand from Asian markets, which could reshape global share dynamics. Sustainable practices and certification may also become critical for market competitiveness.
