Fish and shellfish are only two examples of the wide variety of marine life that is collected for human consumption as seafood. For numerous civilizations across the globe, it provides a substantial amount of protein and vital nutrients. Fish comes in a variety of forms, from saltwater favorites like tuna, cod, and halibut to freshwater favorites like salmon and trout. Crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, together with mollusks like oysters, clams, and mussels, are considered shellfish. From straightforward grilled fish to intricate sushi dishes, seafood offers a wide range of culinary options.
- December 2022: Mondo Mar Marine Foods, a Danish whitefish supplier specializing in cod and saithe, was acquired by Leroy Seafood Denmark.
- March 2023: Three contracts worth over USD 6 billion in High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) were signed by GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions unit. For TenneT's ground-breaking 2GW Program in the Netherlands, these contracts were given out as a part of a consortium that included Sembcorp Marine.

Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: The growing health consciousness of customers is one of the main factors propelling the seafood market in Europe. The high nutritional content of seafood, which includes lean protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, is well known. The demand for seafood products as a component of a balanced diet is rising as people become more aware of the health advantages linked to seafood eating. Additionally, fish makes up the majority of the seafood eaten in the area, with tuna, cod, salmon, and Alaska pollock among the most popular kinds. As Asian restaurants proliferate in the region, tuna is expected to become the most consumed fish species in Europe.
Challenges: The consumption of plant-based foods has increased as a result of the rise in veganism. This has made it possible for producers of well-established fish markets to concentrate more on introducing plant-based meat substitutes, which has hurt their market share. Furthermore, the popularity of vegan or plant-based meat is growing as a result of celebrities beginning to support and advocate for veganism. Plant-based diets have been more popular in recent years, with consumers showing interest in plant-based foods everywhere in the world. Furthermore, the market for fish and other products was negatively impacted by the rise in flexitarian consumers, who are more likely to favor vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and nuts than meat on occasion. Throughout the projected period, these factors are anticipated to impede market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact on Europe Seafood Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had an enormous impact on the European seafood business, resulting in supply chain disruptions and changes in customer behavior. Foodservice industries, which typically consume a large amount of fish, reduced their demand as a result of travel restrictions, lockdown measures, and restaurant closures. Due to this change, seafood providers were compelled to modify their delivery systems and reroute their goods to retail markets, where demand increased as customers looked for alternatives to eating out.
