Global Canned Seafood Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Product (Tuna, Salmon, Sardines, Prawns, and Shrimps), Distribution Channel (Supermarket/Hypermarket, Convenience Store, Specialty Store, and Online Retail), End User (Household and Commercial), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America Middle East and Africa (LAMEA))

Market Overview

Canned seafood also called tinned seafood is processed food products, sealed in an airtight jar like a tin can, and subjected to heating. A normal shelf life of one to five years is provided by the food preservation technique of canning. According to Ken Research Analysis, the Global Canned Seafood Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~8% during the forecast period (2022-2028) and is expected to reach approximately US$ 50 billion by 2028. Driven by rising health awareness among people, increasing demand for processed and convenient, and advancements in manufacturing technology, canned seafood is being increasingly adopted among both households and commercial end users.


Rising health consciousness along with the rising popularity of ready-to-eat seafood items are positively impacting the market

• Consumer demand for secure, nutrient-balanced, and convenient food products has grown during the past few years. These changes are causing the demand for fishery products to rise, which has an impact on global fisheries resources and jeopardizes the stocks of many fish species. Byproducts of fish businesses or fish species with low commercial value that are technologically improved and turned into goods with great nutritional potential would simultaneously help to meet current consumer preferences and promote more sustainable management of marine resources. This is in turn boosting the Canned Seafood Market.
• Poor cold chain management and the use of toxic metals for tins, limit the market growth
• The core of the frozen and processed fish sector is cold chain management, which calls for industry-specific experience, technical know-how, and financial commitment. Ready-to-eat (RTE) fish products are only available in contemporary retail outlet chains and cannot reach mass retail outlets due to cold-chain management restrictions. Furthermore, because RTE fish is a relatively new product in most regions, there is little consumer awareness of it as a result, retail prices are still high. This is negatively impacting the Canned Seafood Market.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for canned fish soared, especially due to the rising trend of in-house cooking. Canned food was favored by consumers who chose to work from home or stay at home since it is quick and simple to prepare. Additionally, because restaurants curtailed service to prevent an increase in coronavirus infections, more people cooked at home and consumed more canned seafood.
