Defining Sustainable Seafood and Its Core Principles
Sustainable seafood refers to fish and shellfish harvested through practices that emphasize environmental conservation, economic viability, and social responsibility. The approach prioritizes maintaining healthy fish populations, minimizing damage to marine habitats, and reducing bycatch.

Demand for Healthy, Protein-Rich Diets Spurs Market Growth
A key factor propelling the sustainable seafood market is the increasing consumer demand for high-protein and health-conscious diets. These diets emphasize protein-rich, nutrient-dense foods that promote muscle health, sustained energy, and overall wellness. Their popularity is growing because they aid in weight management by enhancing satiety and preserving muscle mass. Sustainable seafood fits perfectly within this framework by offering a lean protein source that is low in saturated fat and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, providing a healthier alternative to red meat.
For instance, in June 2024, the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit organization, reported that 54% of Americans had followed a specific diet or eating pattern over the past year. Among these individuals, interest in increasing protein intake rose from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023, reaching 71% in 2024. Additionally, about half of consumers reported a desire to eat more fresh foods, widely regarded as the healthiest options. This growing inclination towards nutrient-rich, fresh, and protein-packed diets is a significant driver behind the expansion of the sustainable seafood market.
Regional Insights Highlight North America’s Dominance and Europe’s Growth Potential
In 2025, North America accounted for the largest share of the sustainable seafood market. However, Europe is forecasted to be the fastest-growing region during the upcoming years.
