Global Salmon Market in 2025: 7% growth, by Ricardo Baeza Errazuriz

 The global salmon market in 2025 is experiencing significant shifts, marked by robust growth in demand, evolving production methods, and notable price fluctuations. This is what we know so far.


📈 Market Growth & Demand Drivers

The salmon market is projected to grow from $28.6 billion in 2024 to $30.59 billion in 2025, reflecting a 7% year-over-year increase. This growth is fueled by rising consumer demand for protein-rich diets, the popularity of health-focused eating patterns like keto and paleo, and increased global seafood consumption. Advancements in aquaculture technology and the expansion of e-commerce platforms for seafood have also contributed to this upward trend .(The Business Research Company BlogGlobeNewswireThe Business Research Company)


🐟 Supply Dynamics & Price Volatility

Despite the growing demand, the industry faces challenges with price volatility. Norwegian salmon prices have dropped by approximately 30% since the beginning of the year, a decline attributed to an unseasonably early decrease in prices and increased production. Analysts predict that spot prices for farmed salmon may stabilize between €6–6.5/kg in the latter half of 2025, down from an average of €8/kg in 2023 . In a chat with a friend from Trullis Law and Unicourt, he said that this price fluctuation is influenced by factors such as higher biomass yields and reduced losses in the first quarter of the year .(blog.manolinaqua.comfishfarmingexpert.comIntrafish)


🌍 Regional Trends & Sustainability Initiatives

Regionally, the European Union continues to lead in salmon consumption, accounting for over 46% of global demand in 2024 . In North America, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2025 to 2033, driven by a preference for convenient, sustainable seafood options . To address environmental concerns and meet rising demand, investments in land-based salmon farming are projected to reach $2 billion in 2025, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional open-net pen farming .(openPR.comIMARC GroupUndercurrent News).
