January 7, 2026 — U.S. grocery sales are expected to continue on a steady growth trajectory over the next few years, and several consumer trends are pointing toward seafood being a top beneficiary of that growth.
According to a recent report from LLC Attorney, U.S. food retail sales are projected to soar from USD 245.8 billion (EUR 210 billion) in 2026 to USD 389 billion (EUR 333 billion) in 2029, enjoying a growth rate of more than 12 percent annually during that time frame. A large component of that projected growth will come from seafood, according to the firm, which predicted that seafood is expected to outpace every other food segment throughout the end of the decade, with projections of 13.8 percent annual growth and USD 11.4 billion (EUR 9.7 billion) in sales by 2029.
