Analyst Opinion

The Fish & Seafood Market in the EAEU is experiencing steady growth, with factors such as increasing demand for healthy food options, growing awareness about sustainable fishing practices, and advancements in processing and packaging technologies driving the market. The mild growth rate can be attributed to various factors, including fluctuating seafood prices, changing consumer preferences, and regulatory challenges.

Customer preferences:
As the demand for healthy and sustainable food choices continues to grow, the Fish & Seafood Market within The Food market has seen a rise in consumer interest in sustainably sourced and ethically caught seafood. This trend is driven by increasing awareness of the environmental impacts of overfishing and the desire for transparency in food production. Additionally, there has been a shift towards locally sourced seafood, as consumers prioritize supporting local economies and reducing carbon footprint. This shift is also influenced by a growing interest in cultural and regional cuisines, leading to a greater demand for diverse and authentic seafood options.

Trends in the market:
In the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the Fish & Seafood Market within The Food market is experiencing a shift towards sustainable and organic fish and seafood products. This trend is driven by increasing consumer awareness and demand for ethically and environmentally responsible products. Additionally, there is a growing trend of e-commerce platforms and online marketplaces, allowing consumers to conveniently purchase fish and seafood products directly from producers. This could potentially lead to a more direct and transparent supply chain, benefitting both producers and consumers. However, the industry may also face challenges in meeting the demand for sustainable products, as well as adapting to the digitalization of the market.

Local special circumstances:
In the EAEU, the Fish & Seafood Market presents unique opportunities due to the region's abundant coastline and rich fishing traditions. However, the market is also influenced by cultural preferences and regulatory standards of each member state. For example, Russia's strict food safety regulations have led to a booming demand for high-quality, certified seafood products. In Kazakhstan, the market is driven by a growing middle class and increasing health consciousness, leading to a rise in demand for sustainably sourced and organic seafood.
