India`s canned seafood import market in 2024 saw significant contributions from top exporting countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, and China. Despite a high concentration with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), the market experienced a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -32.86% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate between 2023 and 2024 also dipped by -34.92%. This data suggests a challenging environment for the canned seafood import industry in India, signaling potential shifts in market dynamics and consumer preferences.

The India canned seafood market is witnessing steady growth due to changing consumer dietary habits and the increased preference for convenience foods. Canned seafood products offer long shelf life and easy consumption, making them popular choices among India consumers. Tuna, salmon, sardines, and other seafood items are now widely available in canned formats. Additionally, the export of canned seafood products contributes to the industry`s expansion, providing opportunities for both domestic and international markets.
The India canned seafood market is influenced by several factors, with changing consumer lifestyles being a major driver. As more individuals opt for convenient and shelf-stable food options, canned seafood products gain popularity due to their long shelf life and ease of storage. Health consciousness among consumers has also boosted the market as canned seafood is often considered a healthy source of protein and essential nutrients. Additionally, the seafood industry`s sustainable practices, adherence to quality standards, and innovative packaging techniques are key drivers in the growth of the canned seafood market.
Challenges in this market include quality control, shelf-life, and distribution. Maintaining the quality and freshness of canned seafood products is essential. The logistics and distribution networks need to ensure that products reach consumers without compromising their shelf life, which can be challenging in a vast and diverse country like India.
The canned seafood market experienced fluctuations in demand. While the demand for shelf-stable seafood increased due to consumer stockpiling, foodservice and restaurant sales decreased significantly.
