In 2023, France led the European market in fresh surmullet production for human consumption, with 32.89 metric tons, followed by the Netherlands at 25.67 metric tons. Notable increases were seen in Denmark and Slovenia, with growth rates of 108.71% and 49.27%, respectively. Italy and Cyprus, however, experienced declines. Over the past five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) highlights a trend of consolidation in larger producing countries like France and the Netherlands, indicating a potential shift in production dynamics.
For future trends, watch for potential growth in smaller producers like Denmark, which showed significant increases in 2023. Additionally, potential regulatory changes and technological advancements in sustainable fishing practices could alter production capacities and competitive dynamics across Europe.
