Global Frozen Fish Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Distribution Channel (Supermarkets & Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Retail, and Specialty Stores), By Type, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030


The Global Frozen Fish Market size is expected to reach $44.2 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 910.4 kilo tonnes, experiencing a growth of 4.5% (2019-2022).

Cod's mild flavor and flaky texture make it versatile in various culinary applications. From classic fish and chips to fish tacos, cod adapts well to different cooking methods and complements various flavors. Consequently, the Cod segment would generate approximately 12.51 % share of the market by 2030. Also, Spain would consume 6.6 kilo tonnes of tilapia by 2030. Its versatility appeals to home cooks and chefs, driving the demand for frozen cod products. Processed cod products, such as breaded and battered cod fillets, fish fingers, and cod cakes, have gained popularity within the market.

With higher disposable incomes, consumers are more willing to invest in premium and high-quality food products, including premium varieties of frozen fish. This willingness to spend on quality items expands the premium market, increasing sales. Consumers with higher disposable incomes may be more inclined to explore seafood options, including fish species and specialty frozen fish products. Therefore, the market is expanding significantly due to the higher level of disposable income.

Additionally, E-commerce platforms allow people to browse and purchase frozen fish products from the comfort of their homes. This eliminates the need for in-store visits, delivering a convenient and time-saving shopping experience for busy individuals and families. Thus, because of the growing e-commerce and online retail channels, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.

However, Pricing strategies play a crucial role in maintaining competitiveness in the market. Intense competition may lead to aggressive pricing, affecting profit margins for frozen fish producers. Striking a balance between competitive pricing and sustaining profitability is an ongoing problem. Thus, high-cost pressures and pricing strategies can slow down the growth of the market.
