The pre-packed fresh fish category is booming in Europe, especially in the UK, where chilled fish is the only segment truly growing, driven by the boom in chilled fresh products, cakes and prepared categories. In the latter, the lines between snacking and traditional meals are blurring. Research shows that consumers are split over whether they eat snacks between meals or as meal replacements. In addition, about half of consumers place high importance on snacks that aren’t too large and on snacks that will satisfy their hunger. All this provides a great arena for the development of fish snacking products (chilled, frozen,smoked, and pasteurized), creating good purchasing frequency opportunities.
In this scenario, the key to success is to focus strongly on category development with more innovative and convenient packaging for sushi and microwavable fish & seafood products, categories that will boost future growth.
