Penetration of the new entrants is highly unlikely, owing to the regional dominance of the stakeholders and experience for more than a decade in the fisheries market.

COVID-19 Impact on the Wild Pollock Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy in several ways. Demand for various products across several industrial verticals has fallen, directly impacting production. Supply chains have been disrupted, causing a gap in the demand-supply equation. A significant market crunch is anticipated for the food and beverage sector, attributed to shortfalls in the macroeconomic factors such as buying power, demand contraction and others. While the wild pollock market is adversely affected by a drop in foot traffic in foodservice sectors and reluctance of consumers to seafood, it is anticipated to rebound post two quarters of market reopening.
