#24 In EuropeOver the five years through 2025, seafood processing revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.7%. European seafood processors face a volatile market shaped by shifting consumer demand, supply shocks, labour shortages and rising regulatory pressures. Consumers are trading down from fresh to frozen and canned formats as inflation erodes their purchasing power. Large diversified processors with freezing and canning capacity are gaining market share, while smaller fresh specialists face margin compression. Supply chains remain fragile. Geopolitical tensions, quota cuts and climate change have tightened whitefish supplies, pushing prices to record highs and forcing costly species substitutions. Salmon processors face the opposite problem – oversupply and US tariffs have driven prices to four-year lows, squeezing profit.
