Pakistan tuna market witnessed a significant import trend from 2023 to 2024, with a remarkable growth rate of 300.0%. However, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period of 2020-2024 stood at -45.4%. This contrasting performance could be attributed to shifts in consumer preferences, changes in trade policies, or market dynamics impacting import momentum.

Pakistan`s tuna market serves the seafood industry and international trade, offering various species of tuna for consumption and processing. Tuna, valued for its taste, nutritional value, and versatility, is a staple ingredient in Pakistani cuisine and a key export commodity for the country`s fishing industry.
The Pakistan Tuna Market is witnessing robust growth driven by the increasing demand for seafood products, changing dietary habits, and the growth of the fishing industry. Tuna, a popular and versatile fish species, is valued for its taste, nutritional benefits, and culinary versatility. With the rising consumer awareness of health and wellness, the growing popularity of sushi and sashimi, and the expansion of seafood consumption in Pakistan, there`s a rising demand for tuna among consumers, restaurants, and seafood retailers, driving market growth.
The tuna market in Pakistan faces challenges such as overfishing and the depletion of tuna stocks in local waters. Regulatory challenges and the lack of effective enforcement of fishing quotas also pose significant barriers to sustainable market growth. Additionally, there is a need for better infrastructure for processing and exporting tuna to international markets.
Regarding the Tuna market, government policies emphasize fisheries management, marine conservation, and seafood quality standards. Regulatory frameworks include fishing quotas, marine conservation zones, and seafood export regulations. Initiatives support sustainable fishing practices, research in marine biology, and market promotion of Pakistani tuna to ensure seafood sustainability, preserve marine ecosystems, and meet international seafood market demands.
Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
