In 2023, the Netherlands led European gutted fresh European plaice production for capture fisheries intended for human consumption with a 39.47% share, followed by Denmark at 28.81%, and Iceland at 19.81%. Despite these figures, the Netherlands and Denmark saw significant year-on-year declines by 10.13% and 7.91%, respectively. Notably, Germany increased by 22.42% amid a general downturn. Belgium faced a dramatic drop of 20.33%, while smaller contributors like Norway and France also declined markedly. Over the past five years, compound annual growth rates suggest a need to stabilize production to avert further volatilities.
Looking forward, future trends may demonstrate shifts in national shares due to policy changes and environmental factors. Increased sustainability measures and innovations in fishing technology could alter production dynamics and potentially invigorate markets currently witnessing decline. Observing consumption trends and international demand will also be crucial for countries seeking to maintain or enhance their standings.
