Market Overview and Market Insights: The phrase “seafood” refers to a wide variety of edible marine life, including fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals, that are harvested for human consumption from rivers, lakes, and oceans. This group includes popular fish like salmon, tuna, and cod, as well as shellfish like shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks like oysters and clams.

Drivers: One of the main causes of the rising demand for seafood in the Middle East and Africa is the expanding middle class, particularly in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). As disposable incomes increase, there is a growing demand for high-quality, imported fish products. The region’s multicultural population and substantial expat community also contribute to the need for a broad range of seafood, including expensive and exotic varieties. This desire is further supported by government initiatives that promote a variety of foods and good eating habits. The hospitality and tourism industries significantly influence seafood consumption, particularly in key urban centres such as Dubai and Riyadh.

Challenges: The expansion and sustainability of the Middle Eastern and African seafood markets are hampered by a number of important issues. One of the main problems is supply chain interruptions, which are frequently brought on by insufficient infrastructure, such as antiquated ports, subpar storage facilities, and logistical bottlenecks. These problems, especially with fresh and perishable seafood goods, can lead to delays, spoiling, and higher expenses. Overfishing and irresponsible fishing methods pose a serious danger to the long-term sustainability of seafood populations in the area’s waters. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is common in some places, which exacerbates the loss of marine resources and upends regional fishing economies. As a result, worries over the industry’s effects on the environment and the sustainability of fish stocks have grown.
COVID-19 Impact: The Middle East and Africa’s fish industries were severely disrupted by the COVID-19 epidemic, which led to problems with output, consumer demand, and supply chains. The market for more expensive seafood goods fell precipitously as a result of restaurants, hotels, and foodservice establishments closing during lockdowns, while supply chain disruptions made it harder to get fresh seafood. These challenges were further exacerbated by port shutdowns, workforce shortages, and export limitations, particularly impacting countries reliant on seafood exports. However, once the pandemic ended and economies started to recover, the industry did begin to revive, with consumers turning to home cooking and a spike in demand for packaged and frozen seafood.
The key players in the market include Albatha Group, Almunajem Foods, Blue Island PLC, and Enhance Group Holding Company Limited.
