Synthèse
The global seafood market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 2.9% between 2020 and 2030, reaching a market value of $207.2 billion. However, overexploitation of marine species poses challenges, with the percentage of global fish stocks caught at unsustainable levels rising from 10% to 34%, signalling environmental constraints on market growth.
France, in particular, has seen a slight decline in fish consumption, from an average of 36 kg per capita to 32.6 kg in 2020. Despite a well-developed distribution infrastructure, with the majority of fresh seafood sales taking place in supermarkets and hypermarkets, the French market remains highly dependent on imports, resulting in a trade deficit of 4.8 billion euros in 2021.
The main imported species are salmon, shrimp, cod and tuna, mainly from the UK and Norway. The country's seafood exports are mainly destined for European neighbors such as Italy, Spain and Belgium. At the end of the year, demand for seafood products generally rises sharply, as Google Trends data shows...
Fluctuating demand on the French seafood market
The French seafood market presents a complex and nuanced picture of consumer behavior and market trends. While seafood products are an essential element of French cuisine, consumption patterns show slight variability, with an increase in market value and a gradual decline in consumption rates. According to the text, the seafood industry is enjoying a note of optimism, with market volume forecast to grow, albeit modestly, from around 3.14 million tonnes in recent years to 3.18 million tonnes by 2023. This corresponds to a marginal growth rate of around 0.2% per annum over a seven-year period.
At the same time, the value of the seafood market has risen more sharply, from €5 billion to over €6 billion, corresponding to an annual growth rate of close to 2% over a similar period. Despite the high penetration rate of seafood as a food choice, with almost all French people having consumed seafood, only 36% reach the recommended weekly intake. French consumer profiles also reveal varying preferences according to seafood purchase category. Fresh seafood remains the choice of older people, while younger consumers prefer frozen and canned products.
Import trends greatly influence the French seafood market. The main imports are of popular species such as salmon, shrimp, cod and tuna, which are not commonly found in French waters, or whose supply is limited. Most of these imports cater to the varied and rich tastes of the French palate, with demand peaking particularly during the festive season, as evidenced by end-of-year search trends.
While market segments such as organic and boneless fish are experiencing renewed interest, the overall market scenario in France reflects a mature and rather stable state, with some categories experiencing declines that are offset by growth in others. French consumers' loyalty to seafood products remains strong, but the structure of the market indicates a delicate balance between the forces of import dependency, changing consumer behaviour and the drive towards sustainable and ethical consumption
The French seafood market, despite slight fluctuations in consumer habits, is a diversified and dynamic sector that boasts several leading entities in the fields of distribution, production and importation.
Leading names in this field include PassionFroid, Grand Frais, Delpierre, Delmas Poisson, Davigel, Marine SAS, Alphaprim and Vivafysh, each bringing its own unique strengths and offerings to the table.
- Wholesale distributors: PassionFroid and Grand Frais
PassionFroid and Grand Frais are titans of seafood wholesale distribution in France. PassionFroid is renowned for its comprehensive range of products for a variety of sectors, including restaurants, institutional catering and chain stores. Grand Frais is renowned for its market-style store concept offering a wide selection of fresh food products, including a rich array of seafood products.
- Seafood producers: Delpierre and Delmas Poisson
On the production side, Delpierre and Delmas Poisson make a significant contribution to the market with their quality seafood products. Delpierre is renowned for its processed and ready-to-eat seafood products that meet the needs of convenience-seeking consumers, while Delmas Poisson is a testament to quality and tradition, with a focus on high-end seafood products.
- Seafood importers: Davigel and Marine SAS
Given France's dependence on seafood imports, companies like Davigel (part of Sysco France) and Marine SAS play an essential role in maintaining supply. Davigel is a powerhouse in the import industry, offering a vast selection of frozen and chilled seafood products to foodservice professionals. Marine SAS also imports and distributes seafood products to meet the demands of a market heavily dependent on international catches.
- Market innovators: Alphaprim and Vivafysh
Alphaprim, owned by the Quattrucci family, stands out not only for its commercial presence, but also for its innovative partnerships with food retailers such as Système U and Casino, combining the worlds of wholesale and retail distribution. Vivafysh is another remarkable player which, although smaller in size than the giants, brings innovation and adaptability to the market, responding to changing consumer preferences.
The interaction between these market players illustrates the complex web of the French seafood industry, highlighting the interplay between domestic production, global importation and international trade.
