The global frozen fish market is anticipated to reach $ 54.45 billion by 2032, growing from $ 26.85 billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Frozen fish refers to seafood that has been caught, processed, and preserved by freezing it at extremely low temperatures to extend its shelf life and maintain its quality. This process involves rapidly lowering the temperature of the fish to below freezing, typically to around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) or lower. The freezing process helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria, enzymes, and other microorganisms that can lead to spoilage, ensuring that the fish remains safe to eat and retains its flavor, texture, and nutritional value for an extended period.
The increasing health and nutrition awareness among consumers has indeed become a significant driving factor for the frozen fish market growth. Many consumers are seeking low-fat protein sources to maintain a healthy diet. Frozen fish is generally lower in saturated fat compared to red meat, making it an attractive choice for those aiming to reduce their fat intake. Frozen fish offers convenience as it can be stored for an extended period without losing its nutritional value. This convenience is appealing to busy individuals or families looking for quick and healthy meal options. As concerns about sustainability and overfishing grow, consumers are looking for reliable seafood choices. Many frozen fish products are sourced from sustainable fisheries which aligns with the preferences of environmentally-conscious consumers.
Moreover, frozen fish has a longer shelf life in contrast to fresh fish, reducing food waste and allowing shoppers to stock up on nutritious preferences except the concern of spoilage. Frozen fish is considered as a healthier protein option due to its decrease fats content, especially when in contrast to pink meat. It is rich in necessary vitamins such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that are beneficial for heart health and overall well-being. Furthermore, the rising consciousness regarding fitness and nutrition, along with the acceptance of frozen fish as a healthful protein supply and a conceivable choice to crimson meat, has driven its popularity in the market.
Issues like improper handling, storage, or thawing can lead to spoilage or contamination, which can harm the reputation of the industry. Proper temperature control is essential to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms and maintain the quality of frozen fish. Temperature fluctuations during transportation and storage can lead to spoilage or bacterial growth. It is important to maintain a consistent and sufficiently low temperature throughout the cold chain. Improper thawing methods can affect the texture and flavor of frozen fish. Thawing at room temperature or using microwave ovens can lead to uneven thawing and the growth of harmful bacteria. Moreover, long and complex supply chains can result in delays and temperature fluctuations during transportation.
The demand for frozen fish is rising globally due to changing consumer preferences. People are increasingly looking for convenient and time-saving meal options. Frozen fish products offer a convenient and easy-to-prepare protein source which is driving their popularity. Frozen fish has a longer shelf life compared to fresh fish, making it an attractive option for both consumers and businesses. This quality allows for international trade and export opportunities, as products can be shipped over longer distances. Moreover, frozen fish is often perceived as a healthier option because it can retain its nutritional value well. Furthermore, consumers across the globe are increasingly interested in trying international flavors and products. Frozen fish can be sourced from various parts of the world and providing a wide range of seafood options for consumers. These are the major factors anticipated to create several growth opportunities for the key players operating in the market during the forecast years.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the market for frozen fish market. The frozen fish market relies heavily on global supply chain. The pandemic led to disruptions in transportation and logistics, making it difficult to move frozen fish products from production facilities to distribution centers and then to retailers. This disrupted supply chains and led to delays in getting products to market. The pandemic also affected production facilities, as many of them had to implement safety measures, including social distancing, reduced staffing, and sanitation protocols. This led to reduced production capacity and, in some cases, temporary closures of processing plants. Consumer behavior also changed significantly during the pandemic. Many people reduced their visits to grocery stores and restaurants, opting for online shopping and cooking at home. This shift in consumer behavior increased the demand for frozen foods including frozen fish as they have a longer shelf life and can be stored for an extended period. Some countries imposed export and import restrictions during the pandemic to protect their domestic supply of essential goods. This affected the international trade of frozen fish products, leading to fluctuations in prices and availability.
The key players profiled in this report include Brig-Star LLC, Chicken Of the Sea, Dongwon Enterprise Company, High Liner Foods, Marine Harvest, Nippon Suisan Kaisha aka Nissui, Pescanova SA, SalMar ASA, Zoneco Group, and Tassal Group.
