What is Lobster?

A lobster is a marine crustacean that has a distinctive appearance with a hard, spiny exoskeleton, two large claws, and long antennae. It is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, zinc, selenium, copper, magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, and other essential nutrients. It aids in boosting metabolism, promoting weight management, improving brain health, reducing oxidative stress in the body, minimizing inflammation, preventing heart diseases and stroke, and controlling lupus, eczema, and rheumatoid arthritis. It also lowers cholesterol levels in the body and prevents the occurrence of various chronic degenerative diseases.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the lobster industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on several countries. With restaurants that closed or limited their operations, there was less demand for lobsters, and many fishermen were left with an excess of product. Moreover, the pandemic caused disruptions to the supply chain. With many processing plants closed or operating at reduced capacity, fishermen struggled to find buyers for their catch. The closure of restaurants and catering facilities also led to the cancellation of events such as weddings and banquets, which are typically major sources of demand for lobster. In addition, the pandemic had an adverse effect on the export of lobster. With international borders closed or heavily restricted, trade in lobster and other seafood products was significantly impacted. As a result, many fishermen and lobster farmers experienced significant financial losses during the pandemic. Governments in some countries provided financial assistance to those in the seafood industry, but for many, the damage had already been done.

Lobster Market Trends:

The increasing consumption of seafood like lobster due to the rising awareness among individuals about its health benefits, especially among fitness enthusiasts, gym goers, and athletes to gain muscle mass and energy, represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, commercial spaces, including cafes, restaurants, and luxury hotels, are incorporating lobster based dishes, including pasta, pizza, sushi, salad, burger, rolls, and mac and cheese, in their menu. This, along with the flourishing food and beverage (F&B) sector, is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the growing number of consumers that are opting for lean meat and protein-rich food like lobster in their daily diets is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing consumer preference towards lobster based ready to eat (RTE) food products on account of rapid urbanization, busy schedules, rising working population, and the expanding purchasing power of consumers is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, stringent regulations implemented by the governing agencies of numerous countries about food safety, which include mandatory certificates to prove the adoption of sustainable fishing methods, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
