Retail sales by category and distribution
Fish and seafood experienced steady increased sales in 2021, following the struggles and impact that the covid-19 pandemic had on the Swedish economy and foodservice sector in 2020. As the pandemic continued throughout 2021, the Swedish government continued to enact restrictions in order to curb the spread, especially in regards to new variants. Throughout the lockdown period where people remained in home seclusion, retail sales for fish and seafood increased with constant 2021 prices growing by 5.7%. This increase can be attributed to several factors. Despite foodservice sales returning to the path of recovery in 2021, covid-19 remains a major threat for consumers, although more people have started to eat outside again. As well, many consumer trends from 2020, including increased home seclusion, with many employees still working from home leading to more homecooked meals that has continued to boost retail sales in supermarkets and e-commerce, with both of these distribution channels recording relatively strong growth in 2021. .
Historic retail sales of fish and seafood in Sweden has increased by 5.7% in CAGR from US$2.3 billion in 2017 to US$2.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to further increase in CAGR by 5.3% attaining US$3.6 billion by 2026. 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. Retail sales of fish experienced the greatest historical growth between 2017 to 2021, from US$2.1 billion in 2017 to US$2.6 billion in 2021 (24.9% increase), represented by a CAGR of 5.7%, and is expected to grow to US$3.3 billion (28.0% increase from 2021) by 2026, with an expected CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2026. This was followed closely by retail sales of crustaceans, experiences a positive growth of 5.6% during the historic period from 2017 to 2021 from US$180.3 million to US$224.1 million, and is expected to experienced the greatest growth in the forecasted period from 2022 to 2026 with a CAGR of 6.6% with forecasted sales reaching US$303.9 million by 2026.
Healthy images of fish and seafood allow it to remain popular among consumers, especially in comparison to meat. Although fish consumption has been fluctuating in recent years due to different annual catches, demand is expected to increase slightly in the coming years. Perceived as a healthier alternative to meat, as well as due to the the minimal amounts of fish substitute products has allowed fish and seafood to trend towards greater consumption and retail growth in the future. However, the issues of sustainability and the impacts of commercial fishing is a topic that is often brought to the forefront by the media and viewed critically by Swedish society.Footnote 1
Retail sales of processed seafoods is set to perform better than many meat categories over the forecasted period, from US$588.2 million in 2017 to US$681.1 million in 2021 with a CAGR of 3.7%, and forecasted to grow to US$836.3 million by 2026, with a forecasted CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2026. Chilled processed seafood experiencing the greatest historical growth from US$161.9 million in 2017 to US 207.3 million in 2021, representing a 6.4% CAGR, further being forecasted to grow to US$282.1 million by 2026, with a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2026.
Chilled processed seafood is expected to outperform shelf stable and frozen processed seafood over the forcecasted period as consumers opt for fresher and perceived healthier or tastier options. Chilled processed seafood is considered healthier and less processed as well as more convenient than the other options. In contrast, shelf stable processed seafood is expected to see further decline, despite being the largest processed seafood category, with recorded retail sales of US$383.3 million in 2021. However, shelf stable seafoods will experienced the slowest growth among processed seafood with a historic CAGR of 2.3% from 2017 to 2021 and a forecasted CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2026, in contrast to chilled and frozen processed seafoods which are forecasted to grow at a respective 6.9% and 5.7% during the same period. Shelf stable processed seafoods have developed an unhealthy reputation and with consumers becoming increasingly health conscious there seems to be a declining opportunity in boosting future growth in this sector.Footnote 2

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%.
