The brand combines simple cooking methods, ethical sourcing, and world-class flavours to make prawns an easy supper option for home cooks of all skill levels.

Market Dynamics

Driver: The Changing Consumer Lifestyle.

Globalisation and international trade have enabled a continuous, year-round supply of frozen prawns, regardless of local harvesting seasons. Trade agreements and economic integration have cut tariffs and increased supply chain efficiency, making it easier and less expensive to deliver frozen prawns over the world. Emerging markets with rising incomes and shifting nutritional choices have also helped to drive consumption. Consumers' hectic lifestyles have resulted in a preference for convenient dining options. Consumers with limited time might benefit from frozen prawns, which are quick and easy to prepare. Furthermore, the growing interest in health and wellbeing has raised the demand for nutritious, low-fat, and protein-rich diets. Shrimp fit well into this trend, providing a healthy option that is simple to integrate into balanced meals. As a result, the growing demand for frozen prawns is the result of a synergy between global trade, which allows for regular supply, and consumer lifestyle changes that prioritise convenience, home cooking, and health.

Restraints: Quality concerns.

Quality issues with frozen prawns include potential texture and flavour alterations as a result of the freezing process. Improper packaging or extended storage can cause freezer burn, which can have a negative impact on taste and texture. Another problem is nutritional degradation, which can result in vitamin and mineral losses during freezing, thawing, and cooking. Additives such as sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and sulphites, which are used to improve texture and prevent black spots, may cause health issues for some customers. As a result, quality concerns about frozen prawns will impede market expansion.

Opportunities: Technological advancements.

Technological improvements and the expansion of e-commerce are pushing up the demand for frozen prawns. Innovative freezing technologies, such as Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) and cryogenic freezing, ensure prawns preserve their texture. Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) and cryogenic freezing are examples of freezing technology innovations that keep shrimp's texture, flavour, and nutritional value intact. Vacuum sealing, for example, extends shelf life, prevents spoiling, and maintains freshness, whereas environmentally aware consumers choose sustainable packaging solutions. The growth of e-commerce has altered the buying procedure for frozen prawns. Online grocery shopping and seafood delivery services give consumers convenient access to a large range of high-quality frozen prawn goods, regardless of their location. The convenience of browsing, ordering and receiving prawns from home appeals to busy people who wish to avoid in-store shopping. Advanced logistics and cold chain management ensure that frozen prawns arrive in excellent condition, retaining their freshness throughout the shipping process.

Challenges: Environmental and ethical concerns.

Shrimp farming and fishing practices often result in environmental degradation, including habitat destruction, overfishing, and pollution. Coastal mangroves, crucial ecosystems and nurseries, are often cleared for shrimp farming, leading to loss of biodiversity and increased vulnerability to coastal erosion. Overfishing of shrimp stocks can cause population declines and disrupt marine food chains, while shrimp farming operations may generate pollution through wastewater discharge containing excess nutrients and chemicals. Labor practices within the shrimp industry have also come under scrutiny, with reports of exploitative working conditions, forced labor, and human rights violations. Therefore, the environmental and ethical concerns in the shrimp industry will challenge the market’s growth.
