Canned seafood has experienced a surge in popularity in the US, with sales reaching $2.7 billion last year, a 10% increase from the year before, due to its affordability and premium quality. This trend is largely driven by social media, with content such as recipes and product recommendations contributing to its virality. Companies are capitalizing on this trend by launching new products and collaborating with social media influencers. The MZ generation, in particular, is drawn to canned seafood as a convenient and stylish food option, with many discovering it through social media. Food companies are investing heavily in social media marketing, with global spending expected to reach $3.5 billion in 2021, and strategies include influencer collaborations, recipe sharing, and targeting specific social media platforms.
