Analyst Review

According to CXOs, increase in disposable income and dynamic changes in food habits around the world, propels consumer demand for unique cuisines. As a result, customers are more inclined toward premium food products, which propels the market growth.

Currently, Europe is the largest market and has been witnessing huge demand for haddock. One of the major reasons contributing toward growth of the haddock market is health benefits such as it prevents irregular heart beat and combats high blood pressure. Haddock is a rich source of minerals that help to build bone strength and regulate heart rate.

On the other hand, CXOs are concerned about increasing demand-supply gap, which leads to price fluctuation of haddock in the global market. However, CXOs are very optimistic about the rising demand of haddock in the food service sector, such as hotel, restaurants, and Quick service restaurant (QSR). This in turn fosters the market growth.

According to the pessimistic view for the impact of COVID-19 for haddock market, growing cases of the COVID-19 are expected to impel countries to shut down their boundaries, which subsequently slowed down trade activities.
