Major factors contributing to the growing canned tuna market size are health benefits associated with canned tuna and convenience and shelf stability. Canned tuna is an excellent source of high protein for building and repairing tissues, muscles, and organs.

Based on type, the market is segmented into albacore, yellowfin, skipjack, and others. The albacore segment holds the largest market share. Albacore tuna/longfin tuna is found in tropical waters across the world. The canned albacore tuna is mostly labeled as "white meat tuna" due to its mild flavor and white flesh. Consumers, especially in France, the US, and Spain prefer albacore canned tuna due to its low-fat and high protein content with a mild flavor. Albacore meat is a versatile ingredient used in various dishes such as pastas and salads; it is also used as a substitute for chicken. Albacore tuna species is rich in omega-3 acids, proteins, minerals, and essential vitamins. This species is low in fat and mercury. Thus, the preference for canned albacore tuna is high among price-sensitive and health-conscious consumers. These factors drive the canned tuna market growth for the albacore segment.
