Frozen Seafood Market

Seafood is recommended as a part of nutritionally balanced diets. Freezing the seafood creates year-round availability due to increased shelf life. Also, this makes the seafood available at affordable prices without deteriorating the quality and nutrition. The demand for ready to cook/eat food products has been witnessing growth over the recent years due to various factors such as convenience, affordability, high nutritional value, and others. This has consequently increased the demand for frozen sea food owing to its similar characteristics. 

The rise in disposable income and preference for food that provides convenience in cooking and consumption has gained profound importance especially among the urban populace owing to their busy lifestyle. In addition, there is an increase in awareness of the health benefits of seafood. This boost the demand for frozen seafood. The easy accessibility and availability of various varieties of seafood under one roof through establishment of large retail chains especially in the developing countries helps propel the market expansion. However, overfishing has become a great cause of concern not only to the fisheries but also the environment. Overexploitation could lead to less availability of fish, which in turn increases the prices of frozen seafood, ultimately hampering the market growth. 

On the contrary, adopting quick freezing technology to freeze seafood can help produce superior quality of products and using heat-and-eat containers which will allow consumers to cook their food products instantly, can be viewed as an opportunity by the manufacturers to expand the market base.
