The snail market is expected to witness a slight decrease its in year-on-year growth for 2020 as compared to for previous year 2019. Interruption in the supply chain of snail across the globe due to the spread of COVID-19 has a moderate negative impact on the product sales. Thus, the import and export of snail has witnessed a small decline in volume sales across the world in 2020.
The partial closing of restaurants, cafes, food processing and food services in first and second quadrants of 2020 had a significant impact on the sales of the snail. Moreover, inadequate raw material supply and lack of available workforce for production of snail in the first and second quadrant of 2020 had hampered the market growth in 2020.
As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Rajas Shirwalkar, “The global snail market is anticipated to witness significant growth during forecast period 2020-2027. The market is majorly driven by factors such as health benefits associated with snail, omnichannel presence of market players, easy rearing of snail, and increasing number of restaurants offering snail-based cuisines. However, extinction of snail and risks associated with snail is hindering the growth of the market. Increasing support of consultancy firms for snail farming, rising number of snail farmers, and technological development in the production process are creating several opportunities in the global market.”
