The European Union is the largest seafood producer followed by China; the US, Japan, and China are the largest import markets. Seafood consumption is increasing in developing nations with rising incomes, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region and Latin America. Per-capita consumption is expected to increase in Brazil, Peru, Chile, China, and Mexico over the next decade.

The US seafood processing industry consists of about 600 establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $15 billion.
