Market Overview:

Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors.

Sea bass refers to a coastal species of fish mostly found in the shallow waters of the Mediterranean coasts, the Black Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. On the other hand, sea bream is a species of marine and benthic fish present in the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, and around the Canary Islands. Both sea bass and sea bream contain a high amount of magnesium, phosphorous, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, low-saturated fat, vitamin B6, selenium, etc. As a result, they offer numerous health benefits in controlling high blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels, enhancing metabolism, improving bone health, etc.

The expanding seafood industry, along with the growing number of export activities from the Mediterranean countries is primarily catalyzing the market for sea bass and sea bream. Additionally, the rising consumer health-consciousness have led to a shift from high-calorie food items towards a protein-rich diet, thereby further driving the demand for sea bass and sea bream. Moreover, the hectic work schedules and sedentary lifestyles of the consumers are propelling the need for seafood items with prolonged shelf life and easy storage. As a result, there is an increasing demand for frozen, canned, and processed sea bass and sea bream. The market is further driven by the growing number of quick-service restaurants (QSR) and seafood-based eateries that serve gourmet and inter-continental dishes prepared from sea bass and sea bream. Moreover, the high prevalence of numerous foodborne illnesses caused by pathogens present in conventionally cultured sea bass and sea bream is further catalyzing the demand for organic variants. Apart from this, the rising upgradations in the aquaculture services across the Mediterranean countries are further expected to drive the market for sea bass and sea bream in the coming years.
