Total Seafood Chilled & frozen spend & volume Chilled seafood volume is almost as high as frozen, and with the current strong growth rate it is anticipated that chilled seafood volume will exceed frozen before the end of 2004.
Total Seafood Multiples vs. non-multiples (expenditure) Multiples (which includes M&S and Iceland) have increased their share of the total seafood market spend by 10%, while non-multiples lost 1%. Tesco hold the greatest share of spend and have seen the highest growth, with Sainsbury’s following closely. Strong growth rates for Asda means they are gaining market share on Marks and Spencer. Total spend £1.56 billion £1.65 billion £1.79 billion * Please note that Marks & Spencer and Iceland are included in ‘Total Multiples’
Long-term trends Chilled vs. frozen expenditure Chilled seafood expenditure exceeded frozen in 1996, but growth remained relatively static until 1998. From 1992 to 2003, chilled seafood expenditure has more than doubled and now stands at over £1 billion. Frozen seafood expenditure declined by £10 million over the period 1996 - 1998, but has since recovered. * Annual data is up to end of December/start of January.
Long-term trends Chilled vs. frozen volume Frozen seafood volume remains higher than chilled, but is currently in decline (year-on-year). Chilled volume is expected to surpass frozen before the end of 2004 if the current rising trend continues.

Total Chilled seafood Long-term trends in penetration (%) 5 years ago 19 million households were buying chilled seafood in a year; between 1999 and 2001, 860,000 new households started buying chilled seafood. In the last year, over 20 million households have purchased a type of chilled seafood at least once. NB! Calculations based on 24.5 million GB households
Total chilled seafood Top five species - spend, volume & average price (% change vs. last year) Although salmon accounts for the highest share of chilled seafood spend (31%), Prawns have gained share in the last year and now account for a 12%share. TNS Superpanel, 52 w/e 29 Feb 04

Although less people are buying frozen seafood less often, higher volumes are purchased at each shopping trip (possibly due to promotions). TNS Superpanel, 52 w/e 29 Feb 04
Total Frozen SeafoodExpenditure - Branded vs private label Private label frozen seafood expenditure has increased by 12% since last year; the share between branded and private label frozen seafood is now almost the same. Looking at the 4 months since the start of November 2003, private label share of spend has actually exceeded branded (52% vs. 48%).
Chilled natural salmon 3-year comparison of weekly volumes (tonnes) The effect of the salmon scare on the chilled natural salmon in retail market seems to have continued into February. Weekly volumes for the week ending 08-Feb-04 were 38% lower than the same week the previous year, however the volumes have since recovered. Please note that the drop in volumes cannot be solely attributed to the negative press coverage. Negative press hit -12% -38% % change 2004 v 2003 +22% -20%
Comparison of proteins Key performance indicators Total seafood is the second largest protein in terms of expenditure and penetration, (after chicken) and commands the highest average price.

Shellfish Volume trends of natural frozen prawns by type Trends of natural frozen prawns are more erratic, possibly as a result of higher promotion activity. Higher sales occur over the Christmas and Easter periods. A small proportion of frozen warm water prawns are purchased in the retail sector (59 tonnes over the latest 4-weekly period). 2001 2004 2002 2003 * Not applicable refers to prawns which cannot be identified as cold or warm water.
