According to the same source, in 2016, around 87 million pound of fresh seafood was harvested in Florida with dockside value of US$ 237 million.
Market Restraints
Fluctuating seafood prices is the factor that is expected to hamper growth of global fresh seafood packaging market. The fish price index (FPI) relies on trade statistics as seafood is heavily traded internationally, exposing non-traded seafood to price competition from imports and exports.
Market Trends
Key players operating in the fresh seafood packaging market are focused on offering efficient packaging options for fresh seafood suppliers such as packaging with easy to open & close seals and re-sealable closures, leak-proof containers and recyclable & reusable packaging solutions. Efficient packaging solutions extends the shelf life of fresh seafood products, prevents occurrence of contamination, and preserves nutritional content as well as taste of the seafood. For instance, SEALPAC International BV offers ‘Multi-cavity trays’ with multiple compartments for different fresh seafood products on a single tray. The tray has a special covering film for protecting the fresh products, which can either seal the individual cavities as a whole or each compartment separately. This in turn, preserves the taste of each individual seafood component and also prevents cross-contamination.
