Factors such as innovation which leads to more variety in seafood dishes and the global demand for protein and fat-free foods are contributing to the growth of the market. Exclusive restaurants serving exotic seafood and changing consumer tastes are some of the other factors driving the market. In addition, advancements in fish breeding and fishing methods are expected to drive this market in the coming years.
