#3 In EuropeEurope's seafood processing and preserving industry has struggled to navigate the rough economic waters of inflation and changing consumer preferences over the last five years. Recently, inflation has bolstered fish prices significantly, which, paired with dwindling disposable income, has led many consumers to look toward alternatives to their usual seafood choices. Still, this climate has stimulated innovation in cost-effective processing and conservation methods. Sustainability has become a major catchword, with seafood consumers increasingly fishing for eco-friendly products. Revenue is projected to shrink at a compound annual rate of 5.6% over the five years through 2024, with an estimated slump of 5.3% in 2024 to reach €44.4 billion.
