North America Crab Market
North America is the crab market region with the quickest rate of growth worldwide and accounts for a significant portion of the global crab market share. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that the amount of seafood consumed in American diets has increased recently due to increases in seafood landings and growing consumer demand for imported crabs and other seafood.
Alaska accounted for 60% of seafood landings, the greatest percentage in the nation, and crabs were the highest-value species in the United States in 2020, with a value of USD 584 million, according to the NOAA's annual fisheries report. Jonah crabs were historically collected in the United States as an accidental byproduct of fisherman pursuing lobsters in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. However, there has been an increase in recent years in the commercial interest in the species as a targeted catch.

Similarly, Progressive Grocer reports that from 2019 to 2021, a higher percentage of American fish consumers searched for sustainable seafood products. Just 29% of seafood consumers in 2019 were sustainable.
In 2021, this percentage was 41%. In addition, the Canadian government states that 32,519 tons of Total Allowable Catch (TAC) will be made available for the 2022 SGSL Snow crab fishery in order to increase domestic availability and lower prices. During the projected period, this increase in seafood consumption is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the crab market.
