In 2023, Norway led European whole fresh seafood capture fisheries production for human consumption, while countries like the Netherlands saw significant year-on-year growth. Spain and Italy experienced declines, with broader declines noted in France and Germany. Notably, Belgium's share grew substantially amidst a varied European landscape. Additionally, the UK and Portugal gained momentum, while smaller markets like Poland and Sweden faced notable reductions.
Future trends will focus on sustainable fishing practices and trade regulations. Economic shifts and changes in consumer demand for locally caught seafood will also significantly impact European production dynamics.
