The Growing Demand for Seafood Driving Fishing Vessels Market
One of the primary factors pushing the fishing vessels market forward is the increasing global appetite for seafood. Seafood includes a wide range of edible sea life, including fish and shellfish. This rising consumption is linked to population growth, increased income levels, a dietary shift favoring seafood, and expansion in aquaculture. Fishing vessels play an essential role by facilitating efficient harvesting, preserving fish quality, and transporting seafood from remote and coastal areas. They also support sustainable practices and provide economic benefits to fishing communities.

For instance, a July 2023 report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a France-based government agency, projects that by 2032, global per capita apparent food fish consumption will rise to 21.2 kilograms from 20.4 kilograms. This upward trend in seafood consumption is a significant factor driving demand for modern fishing vessels worldwide.
