Study Overview
The market for smoked salmon involves the entire supply chain, from farmers to retailers, with Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) as the main species. Production involves two smoking methods: cold smoking, in which the salmon is smoked at low temperatures after being filleted and salted, and hot smoking, which uses higher temperatures. In recent years, the global smoked salmon market has experienced significant growth, with a preference for cold smoking. The global market, estimated at $4.92 billion in 2023, is expected to reach $7.72 billion by 2032, with a compound annual rate (CAGR) of 5.12 percent.
At the European level, the market continued to grow, surpassing 3.40 billion in 2023, after a strong increase of 21.43% from the previous year. Major consumers in Europe include Germany, France and the United Kingdom, while Italy ranks among the largest European markets, showing a growth trend in both value and volume. Despite some downturns, such as in 2019, the Italian market resumed growth in 2020 and peaked in 2021, with an increase of 22.64 percent.

In Italy, smoked salmon consumption is strongly influenced by impulse purchases and seasonality, peaking during the Christmas period. Imports come mainly from Norway, Canada, Scotland and Ireland, with Norway being the main supplier. However, smoked salmon has come under criticism for potential risks related to the presence of harmful compounds such as nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), although moderate consumption remains popular among Italian consumers.
