In the global export market for live, fresh, or chilled lobsters in 2023, Canada is the dominant exporter with a substantial lead, contributing over a billion U.S. dollars. The United States follows, exporting nearly half of Canada's value. European countries such as France and the Netherlands also play significant roles, though at a smaller scale. The year-on-year analysis shows modest growth for major exporters like Canada and the United States. However, impressive increases are noted for France, Spain, and Sweden, indicating potential emerging markets in Europe.
Looking ahead, market analysts predict a gradual but consistent growth in the global trade of live, fresh, or chilled lobsters, with particular attention required on any emerging markets and potential shifts driven by changing consumer preferences, sustainability concerns, and trade agreements. Market stability in key exporters, innovations in supply chain logistics, and health and safety standards will heavily influence future trends.
