Restraints 

• Overfishing and Environmental Concerns: The overfishing of tuna and its impact on marine ecosystems pose significant challenges. Regulatory bodies are imposing stricter fishing quotas, affecting the availability of raw materials. In 2023, the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation reported increased restrictions on tuna fishing to mitigate overfishing, restraining the market of canned tuna. 

• Price Volatility of Raw Materials: Fluctuations in tuna prices and related expenses, such as fuel for fishing vessels, have a substantial impact on the profitability of the canned tuna market. Changes in fuel costs can raise operational expenses for fishing companies, potentially resulting in higher prices for consumers. Moreover, shifts in supply dynamics due to environmental factors and fishing regulations can lead to further price volatility. This uncertainty poses challenges for manufacturers in maintaining consistent pricing and profit margins, affecting the overall stability of the market. 

• Regulatory Compliance and Trade Barriers: Canned tuna manufacturers must navigate complex international regulations and certifications to meet food safety standards, which can vary significantly across regions. Compliance adds to production costs, limiting market entry for smaller players. In 2023, new EU regulations on canned seafood importation increased scrutiny on suppliers, leading to delays for some exporters.
