Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Increased Awareness about the Health Benefits

One of the essential factors driving the global carp market is the growing consumer awareness of the health benefits of carp, particularly in developing countries like India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Carp is a good source of proteins, iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce muscle inflammation and the risk of heart failure, blood clotting, triglycerides, and blood pressure by reducing the number of free radicals produced by vigorous exercise. Additionally, government organizations started various initiatives and events to raise awareness about the health advantages of eating carp, which will fuel market expansion throughout the projection period.

Growth Prospects in E-Commerce

The potential growth of e-commerce is one of the key trends in the carp market, and it is anticipated that this trend will positively affect the sector. The expansion of well-known business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, Walmart, JD.com, and Alibaba, is responsible for increased sales generated through online retailing.

Market Restraint

Rising Demands of Substitutes

The increasing demand for substitutes like tuna, salmon, and other types of seafood is one of the significant obstacles to the growth of the global carp market. Consumers prefer prepared seafood such as fillets, canned goods, and other items. The sales and exports of salmon and tuna increased globally. Few people eat carp because it is an invasive species, and the meat contains a lot of bones. Compared to other fish products like tuna, salmon, and tilapia, the lack of innovation in carp products is also anticipated to impede market growth over the forecast period.

  • Impact of covid-19

    COVID-19 has positive and negative market consequences, as carbon emissions have decreased globally due to the lockout. COVID-19's reduction in emissions is a short-term benefit. Still, when industries and enterprises attempt to recoup some of their financial losses in the first quarter of the year, carbon emissions will rise dramatically. COVID-19 had a negative impact on global recycling efforts. Countries, notably the United States, have halted or decreased recycling programs to focus on collecting additional domestic waste or because services have been disrupted by the virus.

    Also, with industries slowly returning to normalcy following the COVID-19 outbreak, this shift in workplace health and safety is expected to increase due to mandatory social distancing and continuous personal care through sanitization to eliminate even the tiniest possibility of COVID-19 spread. COVID-19 has impacted various companies' revenues, and if the lockdown is lifted, companies will turn their attention to operations to make up for their losses.
