Portugal`s lobster import market in 2024 continued to be dominated by top exporters such as Spain, Ireland, Germany, Metropolitan France, and Denmark. Despite a high concentration with a very high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the market experienced a decline in both the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020-24 at -0.98% and the growth rate from 2023-24 at -18.96%. This indicates a challenging environment for lobster import shipments into Portugal, reflecting shifting dynamics and potential market challenges faced by both exporters and importers in the industry.
By 2027, the Lobster market in Portugal is anticipated to reach a growth rate of 3.27%, as part of an increasingly competitive Europe region, where Germany remains at the forefront, supported by United Kingdom, France, Italy and Russia, driving innovations and market adoption across sectors.
