Every two years, the MSC commissions the largest global seafood consumer perceptions study in the world, polling over 25,000 consumers in 23 countries.

The 2022 consumer insights study

Our studies are conducted by global insights consultancy Globescan and explore consumer trends in and attitudes to sustainable food and consumption.

In 2022 the theme of the study was Changing food choices: Consumers’ responses to Covid, the cost of living and climate.

Globescan presented key findings from this research and their own “Healthy and Sustainable Living” consumer survey in three regional webinars during November 2022. As well as global data, each regional webinar focussed on specific local survey results.
