Extracts and juices of meat, fish and aquatic invertebrates market in Russia

Earlier Report Observations

The Russian market for extracts and juices of meat, fish, and aquatic invertebrates began the period at 2 372 tons in 2018, followed by a slight decline to 2 312 tons in 2019. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and shifted consumer preferences toward longer-shelf-life products, contributing to a further modest contraction to 2 284 tons.

Market volume recovered to 2 330 tons in 2021, driven by growing consumer interest in dietary and functional products derived from fish and seafood extracts. However, 2022 saw international sanctions and trade restrictions alter supply chains and stimulate import substitution, while producers increased export shipments. This led to a notable 7% drop in domestic market volume to 2 163 tons, as exports surged to 133 tons.

In 2023, the market showed resilience with volume rising to 2 232 tons, marking a partial recovery from the previous year's low. Overall, from 2018 to 2023, market fluctuations remained within a range of approximately 200 tons, reflecting the influence of external shocks and shifting demand patterns.
