The escalating demand for protein-rich seafood is one of the key trends driving the Europe shrimp market growth. There has been a significant shift towards including more seafood in European diets as a result of increased understanding of the health advantages of seafood eating. Demand for foods, goods, and supplements made with prawns has increased as a result of this change. Additionally, the rising popularity of fitness and wellness has boosted shrimp’s status as a staple food among health-conscious people.
The rising uses of shrimp in different cuisines are a major contributor to the expansion of the shrimp market in Europe. Shrimp is a fundamental ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, which is prevalent in southern Europe. In recent years, Asian cuisines, where shrimp is a primary ingredient, have gained popularity in the region, contributing to the Europe shrimp market development. The primary drivers also include the rising demand for seafood products at competitive prices and the change in the prawn processing industry towards high volume and frozen product markets.
Moreover, the increasing demand for alternative protein sources in the food and beverage industry has led to a heightened focus on shrimp as a potential ingredient for various plant-based products. The emergence of innovative shrimp-based products, such as shrimp burgers and shrimp protein powders, have catered to the growing demand for alternative protein sources, thereby bolstering the Europe shrimp market expansion.
