The Fish & Seafood market in Oman is experiencing minimal growth, influenced by factors such as increasing demand for fresh and processed seafood, as well as growing health consciousness among consumers. The convenience of online seafood purchases is also contributing to the market's growth. However, limited availability of certain fish species and strict regulations on fishing may be impacting the overall market's growth rate.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Oman are increasingly prioritizing sustainability and ethical sourcing when it comes to their seafood purchases. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the impact of overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices on marine ecosystems. As a result, there is a growing demand for locally sourced seafood, as well as for certification of sustainable fishing practices. Additionally, there is a trend towards seeking out organic and wild-caught seafood options, as consumers become more health-conscious and prioritize natural and unprocessed foods.

This trajectory towards sustainability and transparency has significant implications for industry stakeholders, such as the need for investment in sustainable practices and technology, as well as potential market opportunities for companies that can provide traceable and sustainable seafood products.
