The global canned seafood market is projected to have a moderate-paced CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period. The current valuation of the canned seafood market is USD 33.6 billion in 2023. The value of the canned seafood market is anticipated to reach a high of USD 48.2 billion, by the year 2033.
The outcome of expanding consumer spending power is an increase in demand for notable and unusual culinary items. The market has more prospects as a result of the use of various types of seafood in restaurants and hotels in the United States. The canned seafood market is projected to expand due to the rising acceptance of plant-based seafood.
For instance, a Bloomberg Intelligence analysis projects stated that the market for canned fish made from plants would increase from US$ 30 billion in 2020 to US$ 162 billion in 2030.
Scientists and marketers are developing nutritious, plant-based fish that tastes authentic due to the rise in demand for seafood alternatives. For example, the canned fish manufacturer Karavela created a range of yellow pea-based canned seafood items in December 2021.
Both small businesses and established businesses are exhibiting interest in fish made from plants. An alternative to tuna derived from soy, yeast, and sunflower extract was introduced by Atlantic Natural Foods. Additionally, Good Catch secured US$ 32 million in funding in January 2020 for their plant-based seafood, while another company, Impossible Foods, said in 2019 that it is working on plant-based fish.
As consumer awareness for ecologically and socially responsible seafood procurement grows, customers have begun choosing fish items that are acquired sustainably. As a result, more producers of canned salmon are attempting to get their raw materials from fisheries that have received certification from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council in an effort to support the sustainable movement (ASC). Additionally, it ultimately led to a rise in canned fish sales.
Numerous manufacturers and distributors are concentrating on sales through online channels and e-commerce platforms as a result of customers’ increased interest in and preference for online shopping, which is being fueled by convenience. Therefore, brands like F.C.F. Fishery’s Bumble Bee and Dongwon Group’s StarKist are working more and more closely with online retailing businesses like Amazon, Alibaba, ASDA, and Waitrose & Partners to offer items on their e-commerce platforms. Additionally, business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) activities are supported through the internet and e-commerce platforms. In addition, new companies are enhancing logistics and the supply chain to assist in the hassle-free delivery of canned seafood to customers.
However, during the projection period, illegal fishing and overfishing may provide a significant threat to the canned seafood industry. Despite being the market’s main driver, commercial fishing has had a negative impact on fish stocks. Thus, it has caused overfishing and the depletion of fisheries.
