MD, UNITED STATES, June 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global frozen seafood market is projected to grow from USD 31.1 billion in 2025 to USD 50.7 billion by 2035, intensifying at a CAGR of 5.0%, supported by rising consumer demand for healthy foods, innovations in seafood preservation, and the global push for sustainable ocean facilities.

Frozen seafood continues to gain popularity due to its longer shelf life, taste, year-round availability, and nutritional retention compared to fresh alternatives. The market is driven by refining global demand for protein-rich diets, maturation in ready-to-eat and normal-to-prepare meals, and the rising popularity of Asian cuisine worldwide. Technological advancements in freezing systems, cold chain logistics, and vacuum-sealed packaging have further raised the win over of frozen seafood in both retail and foodservice sectors.

The widening of urban middle-class populations, development in methodical retail, and increased perception about renewable seafood sourcing are factors that are propelling the market forward. Premium offerings such as pre-marinated seafood, individually instant frozen (IQF) fillets, and blank-label crustaceans are obtaining essential traction.
