On
the basis of region, the market in Europe is anticipated to dominate
the global canned tuna market both in terms of value and volume in
2017. North America is expected to gain significant market share in
revenue terms by 2025 end. This trend is attributed to the consumer
dependence on canned tuna as demand for processed and ready-to-eat
food is growing in this region. Moreover, BENELUX is projected to
exhibit significant CAGR in terms of value during the forecast
period.
While
the consumer demand for canned tuna witnesses a downward trend, the
increasing demand from the Middle East is leveling off this decline,
and emerging as an attractive market for ASEAN canned tuna exporters.
The exemption from import duties in the Middle East has led to higher
exports in this region. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel are the
largest importers of tuna in the Middle East, accounting for 21%,
19%, and 11% import share, respectively. The import tariff in most of
the countries in this region is only 5%, which is very low as
compared to the U.S. and the EU. In spite of the large scope for
fishing, the Middle Eastern region is poorly developed in fishing,
and hence, is heavily dependent on imports from ASEAN countries,
especially Vietnam. High demand from non-traditional markets is the
only rescuer of the canned tuna market from declining in the near
future.
US
Canned Seafood Market to Face a Downward Trend
Overfishing
has led governments to ban commercial fishing in parts of the Pacific
Ocean. The ban on fishing has led to the overall lower supply of
tuna, consequently leading to higher prices of canned tuna. Higher
prices have, in turn, led to lower demand for canned
tuna from regions such as Europe. Tuna species such as
yellowfin are overfished and are categorized as an endangered
species. Concerns against overfishing are growing and are leading to
the fluctuating supply and demand of canned seafood, globally.
In
the U.S., the canned seafood market is also indicating a clear
downward trend due to the lack of sustainable and regular supply of
its main product. Consumers in the U.S. and Europe are highly
concerned about dolphin deaths caused due to tuna fishing. A vast
number of dolphins have been killed during tuna fishing, and
consumers are averse to buying products that have resulted in the
deaths of this large by catch. Consumer sensitivity towards the
sustainability of canned tuna dictates the growth of the market. The
dolphin safety issue has been trending in the canned tuna market over
the past many years and is still a major obstacle being blamed for
the decline of the canned tuna market.
