Key Highlights

Private label penetration is particularly high in the Raw Packaged Fish & Seafood categories, processed pieces and whole cuts, with over half of the volume of products distributed being private label. Brands in other Fish & Seafood categories, where private label penetration ranges between 10% and 20%, are expected to come under increasing pressure from retailers as they attempt to replicate their success in Raw Packaged Fish & Seafood.

The three largest product categories by value, Fresh Fish & Seafood (counter), Raw Packaged Fish & Seafood - processed pieces and Raw Packaged Fish & Seafood - whole cuts, each have a market share of approximately 25%.

Not only do a large proportion of Brazilian consumers, in certain categories at least, highlight that specific consumer trends have an influence on their consumption, this translates into a significant proportion of actual value being directly influenced as well.

Some of the key trends to target are Changing Age Structures and Individualism.
