Lobster Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The growth in lobster restaurants is notably driving the lobster market growth, although factors such as risks associated with suppliers may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the lobster industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Lobster Market Driver
The growth in lobster restaurants is one of the key drivers supporting the lobster market growth. There is a rising demand for seafood globally due to the increasing number of restaurants. Moreover, restaurant chains have begun expanding both domestically and internationally. For instance, Red Lobster operates around 50 restaurants outside of the US and Canada and has 704 locations in the US and Canada alone. Similarly, in May 2022, a new seafood restaurant was opened in Syracuse, New York, named Aloha Krab Cajun Seafood and Bar, and many small other seafood restaurants were opened around the globe in 2021. Such an increase in the number of restaurants will drive the lobster market growth during the forecast period.
Key Lobster Market Trend
Growth in e-commerce is one of the key lobster market trends contributing to the lobster market growth. Many customers now prefer to shop online and pay for their orders using credit or debit cards. This enables them to avoid time-consuming journeys and queues while shopping. Moreover, the changing trend has encouraged numerous companies to focus on new internet-savvy customers and venture into this growing retail format. Furthermore, this mode of business helps players save on operating costs, which are much lower in the online retail format when compared to the physical store format. These advantages provided by online shopping will propel the lobster market growth during the forecast period.
Key Lobster Market Challenge
Risks associated with suppliers is one of the challenges impeding the lobster market growth. Primarily, the success of vendors' businesses depends on product availability, which is interdependent on suppliers' ability to deliver goods at minimum or low costs. Further, vendors' operations are subject to various risks associated with their suppliers. They source their products from a wide variety of domestic and international suppliers. Apart from the need to abide by existing laws, suppliers should also be certified, and the products supplied should meet food standards. Thus, vendors tend to face a major challenge in finding qualified suppliers who meet set standards. Such challenges can impede the lobster market growth during the forecast period.
