Increasing consumption of fish drives the growth of Vietnam Seafood Market in the forecast period. 

According to TechSci Research report, “Vietnam Seafood Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the Vietnam Seafood market stood at USD 567.6 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow USD 683.6 million by 2029 with a CAGR 3.15% during forecast period. The seafood market in Vietnam is a vibrant and crucial sector within the country's economy, reflecting its rich marine resources and the cultural significance of seafood in Vietnamese cuisine. As one of the largest seafood exporters in the world, Vietnam's seafood market has experienced robust growth over the years, driven by both domestic consumption and international demand. The country is endowed with an extensive coastline of approximately 3,260 kilometers, rich marine biodiversity, and favorable climatic conditions, which contribute to the thriving fishing and aquaculture industries. Among the various seafood products, shrimp, fish, and mollusks are the most significant contributors to Vietnam’s seafood exports.

The growth of the seafood market in Vietnam is also attributed to the increasing domestic consumption of seafood products. As the standard of living rises, Vietnamese consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are seeking protein-rich food sources. Seafood is often regarded as a healthy dietary choice due to its low fat content and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Consequently, traditional markets and modern retail outlets have witnessed a surge in seafood sales, with consumers increasingly gravitating toward fresh, processed, and frozen seafood options. Restaurants and foodservice establishments are also expanding their menus to incorporate diverse seafood dishes, further driving demand in the domestic market.

Another challenge facing the seafood market is the fluctuating global demand influenced by trade policies, tariffs, and competition from other seafood-producing countries. Vietnam competes with countries such as India, Thailand, and Ecuador in the global seafood market, necessitating continuous improvements in product quality and competitiveness. The government is working to negotiate favorable trade agreements and access new markets to mitigate these challenges and expand Vietnam's seafood export potential.

The rising awareness of sustainability among consumers worldwide is also influencing Vietnam's seafood market. There is a growing demand for sustainably sourced seafood, prompting Vietnamese producers to adopt environmentally friendly practices and obtain sustainability certifications. This trend aligns with global initiatives to protect marine ecosystems and ensure the long-term viability of seafood resources.
