CHAPTER 1 - MARKET SUMMARY
Market Overview
The Indonesia Fish & Seafood Market is anchored by recurring household protein consumption, foodservice procurement and institutional meal demand. Indonesia had approximately 285.7 million residents in 2025, while the government’s 2024 fish-consumption target reached 59 kilograms per capita annually. This population scale creates a broad demand base spanning traditional wet markets, grocery chains, restaurants and public nutrition programs.
Supply is distributed across marine capture fisheries, inland fisheries and aquaculture clusters. Indonesia produced 23.57 million tonnes of fisheries commodities in 2024, including aquatic plants, while capture fisheries contributed 7.81 million tonnes. Java dominates consumption and processing, while Sumatra, Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua remain critical harvesting and sourcing corridors for shrimp, tuna, skipjack, cephalopods and reef fish.

Future Outlook
The Indonesia Fish & Seafood Market is projected to increase from USD 29,540 million in 2025 to USD 42,140 million by 2031. The forecast represents a 6.10% CAGR, compared with a historical CAGR of 4.50% during 2020–2025. Population growth, higher urban food expenditure, institutional nutrition procurement and greater availability of chilled and frozen products will support market expansion. Aquaculture is expected to contribute an increasing proportion of commercially marketed volume as capture fisheries operate under tighter quota, vessel-monitoring and sustainability requirements.
Profit pools will gradually move from undifferentiated fresh fish toward standardized frozen portions, ready-to-cook seafood, branded retail packs and certified export-grade products. Modern grocery, specialist frozen-food stores, foodservice distributors and e-commerce channels will gain share by reducing spoilage and improving assortment consistency. Operators with integrated sourcing, processing and cold-chain capabilities will be better positioned to manage raw-material volatility. Investors should prioritize processing hubs near aquaculture clusters, urban consumption centers and ports serving domestic and international markets.

Historical & Projected Market Size ($ Million)
Year-over-Year Growth Rate (%)
Market Value vs Volume Growth (%)
Historical Market Performance (2020–2025)
The market expanded at a 4.50% historical CAGR, with the highest annual growth of 5.1% recorded in 2022 as foodservice activity normalized and supply-chain availability improved. Growth moderated to 3.1% in 2025 as lower commodity inflation partially offset rising volume. Domestic marketed volume increased from an estimated 12.75 million tonnes in 2020 to 14.88 million tonnes in 2025, while the blended realized value increased from approximately USD 1.86 per kilogram to USD 1.99 per kilogram.
Forecast Market Outlook (2026–2031)
Annual market growth is forecast at approximately 6.1% through 2031, supported by a combination of 3.3% volume growth and 2.7% to 2.9% annual price and product-mix improvement. Frozen, portion-controlled and ready-to-cook formats are expected to outpace loose fresh products. Aquaculture’s contribution to commercially marketed supply is projected to exceed half of volume by 2031, reducing dependence on variable capture landings while supporting more predictable processor utilization and retail availability.

Product Type
Finfish represents the largest revenue pool because affordable marine and freshwater species are embedded in daily household diets and institutional procurement. Tuna, skipjack, mackerel, milkfish, tilapia, catfish and pangasius support diverse price points. Shrimp and premium crustaceans generate higher unit values but are more exposed to export-market pricing and certification requirements.
Distribution Channel
E-Commerce & Quick Commerce is expected to record the fastest percentage growth as urban consumers seek cleaned, portioned and scheduled-delivery seafood. Growth depends on insulated fulfillment, dependable cold storage and standardized product quality. Modern grocery and specialist frozen-food stores will also gain share, while traditional markets remain essential for price-sensitive demand and fresh daily purchasing.
CHAPTER 7 - Regional Analysis
Regional Analysis
Indonesia is the largest fish and seafood market among the selected Southeast Asian peers, reflecting its population scale and the region’s highest fisheries production. Its commercial opportunity is larger than Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia, although value realization remains constrained by fragmented logistics and a high share of minimally processed sales.
