In 2023, France led European cuttlefish production in capture fisheries, with a value share of 35.22%, slightly ahead of Italy at 35.13%. Spain followed with 14.64%, while Greece and the Netherlands had shares of 6.76% and 4.42%, respectively. Notable was the significant growth in the Netherlands, increasing by 36.42%, while Greece saw a decrease of 4.52%. Smaller players like Slovenia showed substantial growth albeit from a small base, with a 23.16% increase. Conversely, Cyprus experienced a sharp decline of 32.79%.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in production dominance due to evolving fishing practices, environmental changes, and policy adaptations within the EU. France and Italy could maintain their leading positions, but increasing production innovation and sustainability efforts, especially in countries like the Netherlands, might alter market shares. Monitoring these dynamics will be crucial.
