The rising health consciousness among the masses is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Mackerel is widely consumed due to its numerous health benefits, including immunity boosters and increases in bone strength, heart, and cognitive health. In line with this, the rising demand for the consumption of these products owing to their rich source of vitamin B-12, fatty acids, and proteins is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the widespread product utilization in the food and beverage (F&B) industry as an ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, the introduction of innovative flavors of canned mackerel with a mild taste and powerful punch of nutrition is providing an impetus to the market growth. Along with this, the launch of mackerel filets in various variants, including Mediterranean style with jalapeno peppers, boneless filets in olive oil, and mackerel with oil and lemon, is propelling the market growth. Additionally, the widespread adoption of canned mackerel as freezing of fish leads to the stoppage of all microbiological activities causing food spoilage and poisoning and making it pure and hygienic for consumption, which in turn is positively influencing the market growth.
