Global Salmon Market Catalyzed by Increasing Health Consciousness

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Salmon Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global salmon market reached a volume of 3.7 Million Tons in 2018. Salmon refers to a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the Salmonidae family which are found in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Salmon is widely consumed across the world as it is rich in calcium, iodine, vitamin D, vitamin B3, zinc, protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Since it is considered one of the best sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), its consumption offers numerous health benefits such as aiding in decreasing inflammation, reducing the risk of cancer, lowering blood pressure and improving the function of the cells lining the arteries. Salmon forms an integral part in the preparation of a vast array of dishes which include sushi, salads, tartar, burgers and pasta.

Market Trends:

Growing consciousness amongst the consumers regarding the benefits offered by regular consumption of salmon is one of the major growth-inducing factors. Also, consumers are now seeking less fattening meat options for maintaining their protein intake, which has increased their inclination toward the consumption of fishes such as salmon. Moreover, the increasing working population and busy schedules are driving the sales of ready-to-eat and easy-to-cook products. Convenient packaging and easy availability of frozen and canned salmon in confluence with inflating disposable income levels of consumers are thereby providing a boost to the market growth. Furthermore, governments of several countries are taking initiatives to promote the production of salmon through sustainable farming methods, which is expected to create a positive outlook for the market. On account of the aforementioned factors, the global salmon market size is expected to reach a volume of 4.7 Million Tons by 2024, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% during 2019-2024.
