Corporate Design PowerPoint | 22.01.2016 | © SWITZERLAND GLOBAL ENTERPRISE 2

• The European Union is the world’s largest single

market with over 500 million consumers and a GDP of

25,000 Euro per capita.

• The European Union is also the largest single fish

market, with imports amounting to 19.2 billion EURO in

2011.

• Likewise, Switzerland provides a promising market,

although on a much smaller footing: in 2013, each of its

8.2 million inhabitants consumed (only) 9.1 kg of fish

products (EU: 24.5 kg in 2011).
