Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh or chilled gadoid fish in Russia increased from 456.6 thousand tons in 2018 to 502.8 thousand tons in 2020. Growth in 2019 was aided by the placement of dedicated chilled fish counters in retail stores, which enhanced product visibility and stimulated demand. The following year, the COVID-19 pandemic shifted consumer preferences toward ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat fish products, supporting further market expansion despite broader economic disruptions.

In 2021, the market contracted sharply to 406.4 thousand tons, driven by reduced supply of pond and river fish and a shift by producers toward higher-value-added segments such as fish rillettes, which lowered volume output. The market recovered to 446.7 thousand tons in 2022, supported by ongoing development of storage and sales infrastructure for fresh and chilled fish, alongside continued growth in domestic production and consumption.
