The sales of prepared fresh fish and fresh seafood in the US have shown a general upward trend from 2013 to 2023, growing from 2.135 billion in 2013 to 3.2852 billion in 2023. This growth experienced varying rates with significant year-on-year fluctuations, notable during 2014 with a 25.77% increase and a sharp decline in 2020 by -15.27%. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 2%, indicating steady but modest growth post-2020 recovery.
For future trends, attention should be paid to consumer preference shifts towards sustainable and organic seafood options, potential supply chain disruptions, and economic factors affecting discretionary spending. The forecasted 5-year CAGR is 1.44%, suggesting a more moderate growth phase from 2024 to 2028.
