Saudi Arabia's fisheries department is targeting 230,000 metric tons of fish production in 2024, a significant jump that reflects the Kingdom's commitment to food security under Vision 2030. The UAE has established advanced marine research centers and introduced comprehensive sustainable aquaculture guidelines, creating a robust foundation for industry growth. These government-backed investments are paying off, with hundreds of fishermen benefiting from fuel subsidies and infrastructure development programs across the region.</li> <li>Health consciousness is driving unprecedented demand for seafood across Middle Eastern markets. With 74% of the region's urban population now prioritizing protein-rich diets, seafood consumption has become a lifestyle choice rather than just a culinary preference. The nutritional benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D and B2, and essential minerals are resonating with health-aware consumers, particularly in high-income countries like Qatar and UAE. Upscale dining establishments and fast-food chains are capitalizing on this trend, with seafood menu offerings increasing by 45% across major restaurant chains in Dubai and Riyadh over the past two years.</li> <li>Technology integration is revolutionizing how seafood reaches consumers throughout the Middle East. Blockchain-based traceability systems are ensuring product authenticity and safety, with the global seafood traceability blockchain market reaching $235.6 million in 2024. Smart fishing technologies using AI and IoT are optimizing catch operations, while advanced cold chain logistics are expanding market reach. The region's strategic location and sophisticated retail infrastructure have made it a distribution hub for international seafood trade, with countries like Oman and Kuwait emerging as key transshipment points for premium seafood products destined for global markets.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Middle East Seafood Industry Segmentation:</strong></p> <p><strong>The report has segmented the market into the following categories:</strong></p> <p><strong>Type Insights:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Fish</li> <li>Shrimp</li> <li>Others</li> </ul> <p><strong>Form Insights:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Fresh / Chilled</li> <li>Frozen / Canned</li> <li>Processed</li> </ul> <p><strong>Distribution Channel Insights:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Off-trade (Convenience Stores, Online Channel, Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Others)</li> <li>On-trade</li> </ul> <p><strong>Breakup by Region:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Saudi Arabia</li> <li>Turkey</li> <li>Israel</li> <li>United Arab Emirates</li> <li>Iran</li> <li>Iraq</li> <li>Qatar</li> <li>Kuwait</li> <li>Oman</li> <li>Jordan</li> <li>Bahrain</li> <li>Others</li> </ul> <p>Recent News and Developments in Middle East Seafood Market</p> <ul> <li><strong>January 2025</strong>: Saudi Arabia's National Aquaculture Development Program launched a $200 million initiative to establish 15 new fish farming facilities along the Red Sea coast, targeting local species like hammour and sea bream to reduce import dependency.</li> <li><strong>February 2025</strong>: UAE-based Blue Island PLC partnered with blockchain company Fishcoin to implement full supply chain transparency across their seafood operations, becoming the first Middle Eastern seafood distributor to offer QR code traceability to consumers.</li> <li><strong>March 2025</strong>: Turkey's Ministry of Agriculture announced a 40% increase in aquaculture production capacity through smart farming technologies, with new IoT-enabled fish farms in the Mediterranean region expected to produce 85,000 tons annually by 2026.</li> </ul> <p>Competitive Landscape:</p> <p>The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined along with the profiles of the key players including Almunajem Foods, Blue Island PLC, Enhance Group, Global Food Industries LLC, Oman Fisheries Co.
