- Press Release -

The global market for fish sauce is expected to reach US$ 29.41 Bn by the end of the 2021-2031 forecast period, registering a CAGR of 5.8%, according to recently published estimates by Fact.MR. Growth is flourishing due to a combination of preference for spicy and ethnic flavors, as well as preference for naturally fermented and nutrient rich fish sauces to enhance overall health.

From 2016 to 2020, sales of fish sauce expanded at a CAGR of 5%. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fish sauce demand received further impetus, with several research studies documenting possible effectiveness of seafood in strengthening immunity against the virus. It was revealed that consuming fish based products, including sauces, could lead to 59% lower chances of contracting severe infection.

Consumer demand will continue to grow due to the various health benefits offered by fish sauce and it also boosts the taste of the food. Increasing health-consciousness among the consumers, manufacturers are making a fish sauce by fermenting the fish using natural ingredients such as salt and water.
