Regionally, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region dominates the canned seafood market, accounting for around 46.2% of global market share in 2023. The high share is attributed to strong seafood consumption traditions, growing urban populations, rising disposable incomes, and increasing demand for ready-to-eat foods.

The Europe region ranks second with around 32.8% share in 2023, supported by diverse culinary traditions and strong demand for canned fish products including tuna and sardines — staples in many European diets.

Market Highlights

  • Convenience of canned seafood — ready‑to‑eat, long shelf‑life, minimal preparation — strongly aligns with modern consumer lifestyles and continues to drive demand.

  • Nutritional appeal: Canned seafood is rich in proteins, Omega‑3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, making it attractive to health-conscious consumers focusing on heart health, immunity, and general well‑being.

  • Rising popularity of ready-to-eat and preservative-free foods encourages consumers to opt for canned seafood as a stable, safe alternative to fresh or frozen seafood.

  • Emerging trends: Growing interest in plant‑based seafood alternatives (e.g., plant-based tuna and salmon) to address sustainability and ethical concerns.

  • Sustainable packaging and eco-friendly sourcing are becoming important differentiators for brands — especially as environmental consciousness rises among consumers.
