Analyst Opinion

The Processed Fish & Seafood market in the Netherlands is experiencing slow growth due to factors such as changing consumer preferences towards healthier and sustainable food options, increasing competition from alternative protein sources, and strict regulations on fishing practices. The sub-markets of Canned, Dried & Smoked Fish and Fish Fingers & Portions are also facing similar challenges, leading to a negligible growth rate. However, with the increasing demand for convenience and the growing health awareness among consumers, the market is expected to pick up pace in the future.

Customer preferences:
Consumers in the Netherlands are showing a growing preference for sustainably sourced and ethically produced processed fish and seafood products. This trend is driven by an increasing awareness of environmental and social issues, as well as a desire for healthier and more ethical food options. As a result, companies in the market are focusing on transparency and traceability in their supply chains, as well as incorporating more plant-based alternatives to traditional processed fish and seafood products. This shift highlights the importance of ethical and sustainable practices in the food industry and the changing attitudes of consumers towards their food choices.
