The COVID-19 pandemic disturbed transportation and suspended the supply of fish food products for a short duration. The supply chain of fish products was disrupted due to COVID-19 restrictions. These products are highly dependent on international trade, which suffered quite early from the pandemic due to the limitations and closures of the global market. In aquaculture, the unsold production of fresh fish has resulted in increasing levels of live fish stocks. Further, it has created higher costs for feeding and risks of fish mortalities across the globe.
The consumption of fish products has been driven by advancements in the cold chain, shipping and distribution channel, and an increase in the production of fish products across the globe. Moreover, the rising demand for protein-rich diets as an alternative to high-calorie food products is accelerating the industry demand. Fish food consists of a low-fat source of protein, which is used for muscle building, and also contains iron and vitamins such as omega-3 fatty acids, thereby accelerating the market growth.
The rising production of fish in developing economies including India and Indonesia is the major driving force of the market. The market for fresh fish has been witnessing growth due to factors such as growing urbanization and increasing disposable income of the people, which has led to a rise in the consumption of protein-rich fish food. Moreover, the growing demand for premium quality food products due to the freshness and diversity of the products are expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
However, increased government support and improved transport infrastructure have increased the importance of international trade in past years. For instance, in India, the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has launched an initiative to develop a GPS-based database of export-oriented aquaculture farms to ensure their traceability and quality control. Likewise, in Indonesia, the PROTEKAN (Program to Increase Fisheries Exports) program aims to strengthen fisheries exports. Therefore, increasing export-oriented fish production is likely to further increase global fish production and consumption.
A recent trend observed in the target market is innovation and change in seafood dishes and the global demand for protein and fat-free foods. Exclusive restaurants serving exotic seafood and changing consumer tastes are some of the other factors contributing to the growth of the global seafood market. Some of the limiting factors are the short shelf life of the product, government regulations on fish farming and packaging, and disease outbreaks while farming and processing seafood.
