The increasing prominence of land-based fish farming is notably driving the seafood market growth. Another driver that can positively influence the growth of the global seafood market is the increasing prominence of land-based aquaculture. Even though it is more expensive than marine aquaculture, it causes fewer environmental problems than the ones associated with sea cage aquaculture. The demand for aquaculture in the global seafood market is increasing and is expected to surpass the demand for commercial fishing during the forecast period. Aquaculture is the fastest-growing global food production process. It has overshadowed all other food-sourcing methods such as traditional agricultural practices and wild fish harvesting. Thus, the increasing prominence of land-based fish farming is expected to drive the growth of the global seafood market during the forecast period.
Extensive scope through organized retailing is a major seafood market trends. The retail chain is the major distribution partner for fresh fish and seafood, which accounts for the highest sales of fresh fish and seafood. The current shift in the retail industry toward an organized format from the traditional format has accelerated the growth of the retail industry. Convenience and value have become important for consumers because of their hectic lifestyles and work schedules. Organized retailers provide a large number of products under the same roof, which enables consumers to save time and allows them a variety of choices.
Further increasing the importance of organized retailers for vendors.

Thus, the extensive scope of organized retailing is expected to positively affect the growth of the global seafood market during the forecast period.
The growing popularity of vegan seafood is a significant challenge hindering market growth. The rising consumer awareness about the health benefits of vegan diets has led to an increasing number of people adopting vegan lifestyles. Vegan diets provide more fibre, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. They are also rich in potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamins A, C, and E. Vegan diets help improve kidney function and lower blood sugar levels. They also help in lowering the risk of heart disease significantly. Such health benefits of vegan diets have led people to opt for palatable fish substitutes.
Furthermore, the rising demand for plant-based fish products in the region has attracted large international seafood companies to expand their product offerings in the region. Hence, the growing popularity of vegan seafood is expected to hamper the growth of the global seafood market during the forecast period.
The offline distribution channel generates revenue from the sales of products through hypermarkets, supermarkets, clubhouse stores, department stores, and wet/open markets retailers. Revenue generation has been declining in the offline segment as consumers are gradually shifting to online shopping. Companies can increase their sales and cater to each consumer category through expansions in geographies such as APAC and MEA. With the growth of retail channels in cities and regions, customers have become familiar with different variants of frozen seafood. This is expected to increase sales during the forecast period. Although the offline segment is losing its global seafood market share and popularity to the online segment, innovative marketing strategies will propel sales through the offline channel at a steady rate, thereby driving the global seafood market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the fish segment will be significant during the forecast period. The fish segment held the largest market share by type in the global seafood market in 2023. The expansion of fish as a high-protein meat substitute is responsible for the growth of the global seafood market.

Thus, fish is highly preferred seafood among other types of seafood, which, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the fish segment, thereby driving the global seafood market during the forecast period.

Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. In 2023, APAC held a significant market share in the global seafood market. APAC is the world's largest producer of seafood, and China is the largest producer and consumer of fishery products. China consumes about half of all fish produced globally. Many nations in APAC have a growing population of young, sophisticated, and affluent people who are looking for high-quality seafood. As a result, the region's demand for various types of seafood is expanding. China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Australia, and other Southeast Asian countries are prospective seafood markets in APAC, as major trade flows pass through these countries/regions.
In addition, the growing trend of out-of-home dining in the region is predicted to stimulate the expansion of seafood and premium servings that contain crustaceans in both fast-service and full-service restaurants. Thus, the regional seafood market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted most APAC countries, with China being the most affected, which resulted in the temporary closure of various industries, including the seafood industry. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives led to a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases. This has resulted in the lifting of lockdown restrictions and the resumption of activities such as fishing. The regional seafood market witnessed high growth in 2022 owing to the high presence of seafood in offline channels such as wet markets. Also, in the COVID-19 situation, people started to prefer foods, which are highly nutritional, which, in turn, is expected to fuel the growth of the regional seafood market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
