Market Dynamics:

Growing demand of fish sauces as a seasoning and health benefits provided by fish sauce is driving the market growth

Fish sauce is used as a seasoning in many regions of the world and has become a popular table ingredient. The market is growing due to an increase in non-vegetarian eaters due to the health benefits of non-veg cuisine and the availability of traditional fish sauces in various packages, flavors, and prices to cater to varied tastes around the world. Furthermore, the nutrients found in fish and fish sauces are extremely helpful to the human body.

Furthermore, due to multiple nutrients in fish, such as omega-3, vitamin D, and B2, consumers are turning to fish meat as a substitute for chicken and red meat. This has prompted producers to introduce a variety of pre-packaged, ready-to-use fish gravies. These are primarily supplied in powder form in sachets to provide consumers with the best flavor and convenience, particularly in developed countries where people have more hectic lifestyles. As a result, fish sauce, a crucial element in producing these dishes, is in high demand. Furthermore, customers in industrialized countries are more eager to try new foods and flavors, which leads to an increase in fish sauce sales.

However, the worldwide fish sauce market's growth is constrained by the availability of low-cost competitors, high manufacturing costs, and health-related difficulties such as allergies caused by fish-eating.

Market Segmentation:

Traditional sector accounted for the highest share in global fish sauce market

The market has been divided into two categories based on product type: traditional and industrial. In 2021, the traditional sector will dominate the market.
