According to Fact.MR, the frozen shrimp industry in China reached a volume of 499,381 MT in 2021. Because shrimp is a mainstay in Chinese cuisine, the country has long practised aquaculture and today produces a substantial amount of frozen shrimp fish food, helping the market grow in the country.
Shrimp's strong nutritional profile and accompanying health advantages are a major driving force for its consumption in China. It is high in antioxidants and astaxanthin, which helps the nervous and musculoskeletal systems perform better.
Furthermore, as a result of strong economic growth and increased affluence, Chinese consumers are undergoing a "nutrition transition," and are moving away from a carbohydrate-based diet toward foods with higher protein content, thereby promoting the sales of frozen shrimp.
India accounts for a generous quantity frozen shrimp export, frozen prawns export, etc., to a lot of countries such as Japan, UAE, USA, etc. The frozen shrimp export market accounts for a large portion of seafood revenue, with the rest coming from domestic sales. Consumer tastes and habits are evolving in the country, particularly in the area of frozen seafood.
Previously, seafood was mostly consumed in India's coastal regions. However, it is currently gaining popularity across all regions, including the interiors. The frozen fish market in India is slated to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% through 2031.
The market in the U.S. is set to rise at a CAGR of 9.8% and close in on a value of US$ 9.6 Bn by 2031. Increased demand for fast foods such as ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-cook (RTC) foods, as well as rising consumer awareness about health, are driving the U.S. frozen shrimp industry.
In February 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began the second phase of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imported Seafood Pilot programme. The goal of the pilot is to improve the agency's ability to promptly and accurately detect imported seafood products that could be harmful to people's health. As a result, customer confidence in shrimp products is growing, benefiting the U.S. market for frozen shrimp.
Ecuador appears to have been able to pivot, diversify, and strengthen its shrimp export sector, according to Ecuador's National Chamber of Aquaculture (CNA). The market is expected to hold a share of 38.4% to reach a value of US$ 1.25 Bn by 2031.
Simultaneously, the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP), which was founded in 2018 by leading Ecuadorian shrimp companies such as Grupo Almar, Songa, Omarsa, Grupo Lanec, Naturisa, and Promarisco-Grupo Nueva Pescanova, has built a powerful marketing and promotion board touting Ecuador's shrimp as safe and sustainable, therefore, heightening frozen shrimp demand in the country.
