Growth Drivers

Growing Health Consciousness among Consumers

The growing health consciousness among consumers owing to the rising prevalence of various chronic and lifestyle diseases is propelling the demand for canned tuna in Russia. As people become more aware of the health benefits of seafood, particularly the advantages of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health, they decide to incorporate more fish into their daily meals. A good fatty acid content in tuna fish promotes growth and development, which is why they are often recommended to pregnant and breastfeeding women to fulfill their nutritional requirements.

Challenges

Health Risks associated with Canned Tuna Consumption

Canned tuna is an excellent source of protein and other essential nutrients, such as vitamin D. However, high mercury levels in certain tuna fish and high salt content may limit its consumption in the Russian market. A typical tin contains 0.5 g of salt, or 300 mg of sodium, which is a significant amount per 100 g. Diets heavy in salt can raise blood pressure and stroke risk factors. Some tuna species also contain high levels of mercury due to water contamination, which can result in serious ailments, such as damage to the central nervous system. Therefore, children and pregnant people are suggested to avoid it, which may hinder the Russia Canned Tuna Market.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Russia Canned Tuna Market

Further intensifying and spreading of geopolitical tensions among countries across major regions could adversely affect the growth of Russia Canned Tuna Market. Russia’s invasion on Ukraine led to sanctions, particularly by western nations, which limited the import of canned tuna in the country and leading to shortage of products in the market. Russia also has a long standing import ban of seafood from many Western nations, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Ukraine, which are in friendlier terms with each other, since 2014. With rising tensions, foreign markets may become less accessible for Russian canned tuna, necessitating a focus on domestic consumption or alternative markets, potentially in Asia or the Middle East.
