Global Herring Market: Overview

Growing demand for processed fish

Globally, the demand for processed fish is increasing because of two main reasons such as to reduce the post-harvest loss/wastage owing to high perishability of fish and to increase the availability of fish in non-coastal areas. As fresh fish cannot be stored for a long time, the demand for post-harvest handling functions such as processing, preservation, packaging, storage, and transportation has increased. Besides, the fish processing market is expected to reduce the loss/waste due to spoilage and allow widespread distribution of fish varieties across the globe through the export of processed fish. This demand for demand for processed fish will lead to the expansion of the global herring market at a CAGR of almost 2% during the forecast period.

Increasing adoption of sustainable fishing approaches

Globally, the fishing industry is adopting sustainable approaches to deal with food security and climate change issues. Socially responsible fish value chain participants such as governments, policymakers, industry associations, and regulatory bodies are working together to achieve sustainable development of the fishery industry. Different sustainable approaches have been adopted by the fishery industry, especially for small pelagic fish such as herring, anchovy, and sardines. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
