Retail sales by category and distribution
The demand for fish and seafood in France in 2020 was impacted by the presence of covid-19 in the retail environment. In March 2020, the closure of foodservice outlets and schools prompted the initial demand and prices for fish and seafood to decline as fishers stayed at shore as it was unprofitable for them to work.
Throughout the remainder of 2020 however, retail volume sales of fish and seafood have increased in comparison to 251.6 million kilograms in 2019 to 253.2 million kilograms in 2020. This increase in retail volume sales from 2019 to 2020 was driven by home seclusion and the closure of foodservice venues, which increased consumer demand for fish and seafood products as consumers began to prepare their own meals at home. Despite the increase in retail volume sales there was a subsequent loss from both the institution sector and from foodservice venues, and as such, total volume for fish and seafood recorded a double-digit decline in 2020.Footnote 1 Further, and due to the health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus, within the fish category, demand increased for items sold pre-packaged and in self-service, while products sold at fish markets or seafood counters in retail stores, suffered. For crustaceans and molluscs, demand from retail increased but at a very low pace, since the product has been facing a retail decline across the review period.Footnote 1
Historic retail sales of fish and seafood in France has increased 0.5% in CAGR from US$3.1 billion in 2016 tto US$3.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to further increase in CAGR by 2.2% attaining US$3.5 billion by 2025. Both crustaceans and molluscs and cephalopods experienced positive growth in the historic period while all categories are expected to obtain positive growth in the forecasted period. Fish was the largest fish and seafood category with retail sales of US$2,270.0 million (70.8% market share) in 2020, despite a slight decline in growth by 0.1% from US$2,278.6 million in 2016 (−0.7% from US$2,286.0 million in 2019), and is expected to remain the largest category in the forecasted period increasing by a further 2.7% to attain US$2.6 billion in retail sales by 2025.
Fish and seafood however, despite French consumers seeking protein and nutritious options as health and wellness trends continue, will still be regarded as an expensive source of protein prompting consumers to seek more affordable variants of fish, as well as shift to eggs, chicken or pulses, early in the forecast period.Footnote 1 Of interest, sustainable fish and seafood will be a key focus of French consumers in the longer term. Presently, few labels exist for fish and seafood products and trade organizations are working on new solutions to educate consumers and foodservice about this important apect of the market. For example, the new "ecolabel", a government-certified label, is available and allows suppliers and manufacturers to communicate about the use and seasonality of sustainable fish and seafood. The seasonality of fresh fish and seafood is an aspect of the market that consumers are not yet sufficiently aware in comparison with fruit and vegetable seasonality.Footnote 1
France's consumption of processed meat and seafood has been in steady decline since 2016. Although these products remain extremely popular, more shoppers have been cutting back on consumption due to concerns about their highly processed nature and in some instances relatively high salt content.Footnote 2 Of note, processed seafood (and meat) is expected to experience increasing consumption during covid as these products offer convenience, with chilled and frozen formats also offering quite long shelf lives. In addition, some consumers were keen to stock up on these products prior to and during the early stages of the lockdown period as consumers had more time to prepare and cook at home.
Higher- quality chilled seafood items such as smoked salmon (where normally demand is higher than the availability of French salmon encouaging companies to import salmon from the EU and then smoke it in France to improve its French credentialsFootnote 2) however, are not expected to increase in growth as festive occasions such as weddings have been on hold, particularly those held in consumer foodservice as restaurants have been closed. These higher-quality products should witness a strong increase in demand in consumer foodservice in 2021 as restaurants gradually reopen, even though the threat of further lockdown periods, as well as reduced clientele numbers due to social distancing regulations will remain challenges for operators.Footnote 2 Chilled processed seafood are expected to witness steep increases in average unit prices when measured at constant 2020 levels as celebrations return and hosts opt to provide their guests with higher-quality options.Footnote 2
Historic retail sales of processed seafood in France also increased by 2.2% in CAGR from US$4.1 billion in 2016 to US$4.5 billion in 2020. Processed seafood is expected to further increase in CAGR by 1.0% attaining US$4.6 billion by 2025. Both shelf stable and chilled processed seafood experienced positive growth in the historic period while only chilled processed seafood is expected to experience positive growth in the forecasted period. Chilled processed seafood was the largest of the processed seafood categories with retail sales of US$2.7 billion (60.1% market share) in 2020, representing an increase in growth of 3.9% from US$2.3 billion in 2016 (+6.4% from US$2.5 billion in 2019), and is expected to remain the largest category in the forecasted period increasing by a further 2.5% to attain US$3.0 billion in retail sales by 2025.
Similar to fish and seafood, processed seafood (and meat) are also expected to experience a decline in consumption in the forecasted period, as early as 2021, as consumers look to lead healthier lifestyles, especially after covid-19, as many seek to reduce their consumption of highly processed foods.

Opportunities for Canada
In 2020, France was the fifth largest market (4.4% market value share) for fish and seafood in the world with imports valued at US$6.5 billion (1,220.9 million kilograms). France experienced a CAGR of 0.5% as imports increased slightly from US$6.4 billion (1,168.9 million kilograms) in 2016 (−4.8% from US$6.8 billion in 2019).
Canada was the fifteenth largest market in fish and seafood, accounting for 2.0% of the total world market share (representing US$3.0 billion and 520.4 million kilograms) in 2020.
Canada was France's twenty-first largest supplier of fish and seafood in 2020. Top fish and seafood imports from Canada were frozen scallops (HS: 030722) at US$39.8 million (2.0 million kilograms), lobsters fresh or chilled (HS: 030632) at US$17.7 million (1.0 million kilograms), and frozen lobsters (HS: 030612) at US$11.7 million (1.0 million kilograms) in 2020. As such, there remains substantial opportunity for Canada to increase its presence in the French market as suppliers of safe and high-quality fish and seafood, and value-added processed fish and seafood products.
About CETA, The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
With CETA, 98% of EU tariff lines are now duty-free for Canadian goods, and an additional 1% will be eliminated over seven years. Tariff elimination provides enhanced export opportunities into the EU market for Canadian producers, processors, and manufacturers, as well as for agricultural and agri-food products, fish and seafood, forestry goods, and the full range of industrial goods.
How does CETA benefit Canadian fish and seafood exporters? (Global Affairs Canada, 2021)
- Under CETA, almost 96% of EU tariff lines for fish and seafood products have become duty-free. 100% of these tariff lines will be duty-free after seven years.
- Before the CETA, EU tariffs for fish and seafood averaged 11% and could be as high as 25%.
For more information, please visit Opportunities and Benefits of CETA for Canada's Fish and Seafood Exporters.
