China leads value growth as Norway’s August market mix shifts.
Poland, the United States and China were Norway’s largest single markets for seafood in August 2025. China delivered the strongest growth in value, up NOK 350 million ($34.0 million), or 47 percent, compared with August last year. The US slipped year on year, while Poland remained the largest outlet despite a decline.
China’s expansion arrives as market conditions diverge. The US was not the top single destination in August after leading through the first five months of the year. Processing and redistribution hubs in Europe, including Poland, Denmark and the Netherlands, continued to anchor volumes.
