FISH COUNTERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The fish counters market, valued at approximately USD 0.04 billion in 2024, is forecasted to grow consistently, reaching USD 0.042 billion in 2025 and ultimately hitting USD 0.06 billion by 2033, at a steady CAGR of 4.75% from 2025 to 2033.

Fish and seafood stores provide products including tuna, salmon, lobster, and shrimp that are fresh, frozen, or cured. Many brick-and-mortar establishments, such as independent markets, delicatessens, fishmongers, and butcher shops, sell goods. Online sales of fish goods are also not included in this category, nor are fish markets and counters operating inside of supermarkets.

By 2050, the population of the globe is projected to increase to 10 billion. The need for food increases as the population grows. The OECD and FAO's "The Agricultural Outlook" predicts that by 2027, cereal output will have increased worldwide by 13%. To accommodate the growing population, crop production, farming endeavours, and trade volumes will need to rise. Because of the expanding population over the projected period, businesses in this market are anticipated to profit from the rising demand for food and beverage items, including the seafood production industry.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Lockdown Adversely Affected The Market Growth

The COVID-19 disease outbreak has had a significant negative impact on the seafood manufacturing business in 2020, as supply chains have been disrupted by trade restrictions and consumption has decreased as a result of lockdowns enforced by governments throughout the world. A viral illness called COVID-19 causes flu-like symptoms like fever, coughing, and breathing difficulties. The virus was initially discovered in Wuhan, in the People's Republic of China's Hubei region, in 2019, and it has since spread to Western Europe, North America, and Asia. The availability of raw materials from domestic and foreign vendors is a need for food and beverage producers. Manufacturers were forced to suspend production owing to a shortage of raw materials as several governments imposed restrictions on international and domestic trade in commodities. The drop was also influenced by trade restrictions on non-essential items and concerns about contamination coming from industrial sites. Businesses suffered because of the epidemic in 2020 and into 2021. Since it is a "black swan" incident and unrelated to enduring or fundamental problems in the industry or the global economy, it is anticipated that the seafood manufacturing market would recover from the shock throughout the projection period.

LATEST TRENDS

Fish Production Will Be Fueled By Aquaculture Geared Towards Export

More and more people throughout the world are turning to fish as their main source of protein, livelihood, foreign exchange, and wellbeing. The aquaculture industry has grown substantially in recent years. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reports that the worldwide fish consumption has grown at a rate that is noticeably higher than the rate of population growth.

The production of fish of the highest grade is closely related to the expanding demand for fish on the export market. Governments and a number of industry participants are launching a number of measures to expand the fish export market. For instance, Indonesia's PROTEKAN programme, which stands for Program to Increase Fisheries Exports, attempts to increase fisheries exports. Thus, boosting fish output for export will probably lead to additional increases in world fish consumption and production.

Rising Demand For Ready To Eat Food Products Will Fuel The Market

The primary growth driver is the growing customer desire for ready-to-eat food products that need the least amount of preparation and cooking time. The demand for frozen food has increased as a result of the rise in women's employment rates throughout the world since it is more difficult to prepare fresh meals in a short amount of time. The demand for frozen food items has increased due to the tendency towards convenience meals as well as changes in lifestyle that affect dietary patterns and purchasing habits.
