Global Frozen Mackerel Market to Reach USD 2,312.3 Million by 2035 Amid Soaring Demand for Convenient, Protein-Rich Seafood

The Frozen Mackerel Market is projected to grow from USD 1,328.3 million in 2025 to USD 2,312.3 million by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. This growth is driven by surging consumer demand for convenient, nutritious seafood options in both developed and emerging economies. With increasing health awareness and the preference for omega-3-rich diets, frozen mackerel has become a key staple in global food markets.

The market's expansion is also fueled by rising consumer inclination towards ready-to-cook and processed seafood products. Frozen mackerel, known for its affordability, extended shelf life, and high nutritional content, has become a preferred protein source for time-conscious consumers. Moreover, the improvement in cold chain logistics, vacuum packaging, and individual quick freezing (IQF) technologies ensures better product quality, flavor retention, and longer preservation, positioning frozen mackerel as a viable alternative to fresh fish in both retail and foodservice channels.
