Analyst Opinion

The Fresh Seafood Market in Hong Kong has seen minimal growth due to factors such as limited supply and high prices. Despite this, the market continues to attract consumers due to the increasing health consciousness and convenience of purchasing fresh seafood online.

Customer preferences:
Consumers in Hong Kong are increasingly opting for locally sourced and sustainably caught seafood, reflecting a growing awareness and concern for environmental and ethical factors. This trend is further fueled by the rising popularity of farm-to-table dining and the emphasis on traceability in food production. Additionally, the demand for convenient and ready-to-eat seafood options is on the rise, as busy urban lifestyles make it difficult for consumers to prepare and cook seafood at home. This has led to a surge in the availability of fresh and pre-cooked seafood products in the market.

Trends in the market:
In Hong Kong, the Fresh Seafood Market of the Fish & Seafood Market within The Food market is experiencing a shift towards sustainable and traceable seafood products. This trend is driven by consumer demand for ethically sourced and environmentally friendly seafood options. As a result, there is a growing number of seafood suppliers implementing sustainable practices and obtaining certifications to meet this demand. This trend is expected to continue, with more consumers becoming conscious of the origins of their seafood and the impact of their choices on the environment. This presents an opportunity for industry stakeholders to differentiate themselves by offering sustainable seafood options and to capitalize on the growing demand for these products.
