As June begins, a new regional price pattern is emerging in the global salmon market

Global Salmon Market Splits as China Rebounds and Europe Faces Price Pullback

Contrasting regional demands create a divided global landscape as American wholesale prices also tick upward

The global salmon market is experiencing significant regional divergence ahead of June, according to a Food World Beijing report. While prices in China bounced back after weeks of steady decline to bring importers back into the green, Norwegian spot prices faced a minor correction. Meanwhile, the US market found its footing with renewed strength, and the Scottish market stabilized despite persistent weakness in overall consumer spending.

Importers in Guangzhou Breathe a Sigh of Relief

The Chinese market has emerged as one of the few global bright spots showing genuine signs of recovery. In previous weeks, a massive influx of large-sized Norwegian salmon combined with sluggish post-holiday consumer spending heavily weighed on market prices, forcing many local importers to absorb severe losses. However, by week 22, the downward trend in the Guangzhou market finally reversed.

According to the latest industry assessments, the price of 5–6 kg headed and viscerated Norwegian Atlantic salmon has climbed to 58 yuan/kg (approximately US$8.18/kg). Importers based in Guangzhou noted that this uptick functions primarily as a market correction. The protracted declines of earlier weeks had forced several distributors to liquidate stock below import costs. With this recent rebound, operations have returned to profitability, yielding margins of roughly 2 yuan/kg (approximately US$0.28/kg).

Market analysts caution that this price recovery does not signal a sudden explosion in consumer demand. Instead, it reflects a stabilizing market normalizing its profit margins after a prolonged slump.

European Buyers Push Norwegian Spot Prices Down

In stark contrast to China's recovery, the Norwegian spot market experienced a slight cooling trend. On May 29, multiple European market participants confirmed that the price of Norwegian salmon scheduled for delivery in week 23 (June 1–7) dipped by a few cents compared to the previous week.

European processing firms are currently securing contracts primarily between €7.00/kg (approximately US$7.56/kg) and €7.15/kg (approximately US$7.72/kg). This marks a visible decline from the prior week's trading range of €7.15/kg to €7.25/kg (approximately US$7.72/kg to US$7.83/kg). Insiders report that larger fish weighing 6 kg or more are sustaining better market health than medium-sized options, causing the price gap between 4–5 kg and 5–6 kg product lines to narrow drastically.

Supply Tightness Sparks a Rebound in the United States

Across the Atlantic, the US market charted a different path. In week 22, wholesale prices for Norwegian salmon in the United States broke free from a multi-week slump, driven by a renewed rise in chilled fillet costs.

Prices for 2–3 lb, 3–4 lb, and 4–5 lb fillets all climbed by roughly $0.10/lb (approximately $0.22/kg), dragging whole fish prices upward in tandem.

Despite the positive movement, industry insiders view this price hike as a structural adjustment within supply chains rather than the beginning of a prolonged bullish surge. As the US market heads into June, aggregate demand remains steady, but localized supply imbalances persist—leaving certain product specifications highly restricted while others remain readily available.

中国市場の回復と欧州の価格下落により世界のサーモン市場が二極化

米国の卸売価格も上昇する中、対照的な地域需要が世界の市場環境に分断をもたらす

フード・ワールド・北京の報道によると、6月を前にして、世界のサーモン市場は顕著な地域的分化に直面している。中国の価格が数週間にわたる継続的な下落から反発し、輸入業者が黒字を回復した一方で、ノルウェーのスポット価格はわずかな調整を余儀なくされた。その一方で、米国市場は再び勢いを取り戻して足場を固め、スコットランド市場は個人消費の低迷が続いているものの、底堅く推移して回復へと向かった。

広州の輸入業者らは安堵の表情

中国市場は、ここ最近で真の回復の兆しを見せている数少ない世界的な明るい兆しの一つとして浮上している。過去数週間、大型サイズのノルウェー産サーモンが大量に搬入されたことに加え、連休後の消費回復の鈍さが市場価格に強い圧力をかけ、多くの地元輸入業者が深刻な損失を被る事態となっていた。しかし、第22週までに、広州市場の下落傾向はついに反転した。

最新の市場評価によると、5〜6 kgサイズのセミドレス(頭・内臓除去済み)ノルウェー大西洋サーモンの価格は、1 kgあたり58元(およそ1 kgあたり8.18米ドル)にまで上昇した。広州に拠点を置く輸入業者らは、この価格上昇は主に市場の修正として機能していると指摘した。それまでの数週間に及ぶ連続的な下落により、複数の流通業者が輸入コストを割り込む価格での在庫処分を強いられていた。今回の反発により、事業は再び黒字化し、1 kgあたり約2元(およそ1 kgあたり0.28米ドル)の利益を確保できるようになった。

市場アナリストらは、この価格回復が消費需要の急激な爆発を意味するものではないと警鐘を鳴らしている。むしろ、長期的な低迷を経て、市場が利益率を正常な範囲に戻しつつ、緩やかに安定化していることを反映している。

欧州の買い手がノルウェーのスポット価格を押し下げ

中国市場の回復とは対照的に、ノルウェーのスポット市場はわずかに冷え込む動きを見せた。5月29日、複数の欧州市場関係者は、第23週6月1日〜7日)に引き渡しが予定されているノルウェー産サーモンの価格が、前週に比べて数セント下落したことを確認した。

現在、欧州の加工会社は主に1 kgあたり7.00ユーロ(およそ1 kgあたり7.56米ドル)から1 kgあたり7.15ユーロ(およそ1 kgあたり7.72米ドル)の間で契約を締結している。これは、前週の取引水準であった1 kgあたり7.15ユーロから1 kgあたり7.25ユーロ(およそ1 kgあたり7.72米ドルから1 kgあたり7.83米ドル)の範囲から目に見えて下落したことになる。業界関係者によると、6 kg以上の大型魚は中型サイズよりも好調な市場環境を維持しており、これにより4〜5 kgサイズと5〜6 kgサイズの商品ライン間の価格差が劇的に縮小している。

供給の逼迫が米国市場の反発を誘発

大西洋の向こう側では、米国市场が異なる経路をたどった。第22週米国の卸売市場におけるノルウェー産サーモンの価格は、チルドフィレのコストが再び上昇したことに牽引され、数週間続いた低迷から脱却した。

2〜3ポンド3〜4ポンド、および4〜5ポンドサイズのフィレ価格はいずれも1ポンドあたり約0.10米ドル(およそ1 kgあたり0.22米ドル)上昇し、これに連動して丸魚の価格も押し上げられた。

このプラスの動きにもかかわらず、業界関係者はこの一連の価格上昇について、長期的な強気の上昇トレンドの始まりではなく、サプライチェーン内における構造的な調整と見なしている。米国市場が6月に入るにつれ、全体の需要は安定を維持しているものの、局所的な供給の不均衡は続いており、特定の仕様の製品が極端に制限される一方で、他の仕様は十分に調達可能な状態となっている。

中国市场回暖与欧洲价格回落引发全球三文鱼市场分化

美国批发价格同步上涨,区域需求的明暗对比构建出分化的全球格局

根据食品世界北京的报道,在全球三文鱼市场迈入六月前夕,正经历着显著的区域性分化。当中国的三文鱼价格在经历连续数周的下跌后迎来反弹、帮助进口商重回盈利空间的同时,挪威的现货价格却面临轻微回调。与此同时,美国市场凭借重拾的动力站稳了脚跟,而苏格兰市场虽然在整体消费支出持续疲软的情况下,也实现了企稳反弹。

广州进口商长舒一口气

中国市场已成为近期全球少数显现出真正复苏迹象的亮点区域之一。在过去的几周里,大规格挪威三文鱼的大量到货,叠加节后消费复苏的缓慢,严重压制了市场价格,导致许多当地进口商不得不承担惨重的损失。然而,到了第22周广州市场的下滑势头终于迎来了逆转。

根据最新的行业评估,5–6公斤规格的去头去内脏挪威大西洋三文鱼价格已攀升至每公斤58元(约合每公斤8.18美元)。位于广州的进口商指出,此次价格回升主要起到了市场修正的作用。此前连续数周的下跌曾迫使数家分销商以低于进口成本的价格清仓。随着近期的这一轮反弹,业务已重新回归盈利状态,带来了大约每公斤2元(约合每公斤0.28美元)的利润空间。

市场分析人士提醒道,此次价格反弹并不意味着消费需求迎来了爆发式增长。相反,它反映出市场在经历长期低迷后,正在将利润率拉回正常水平以实现企稳。

欧洲买家压低挪威现货价格

中国市场的复苏形成鲜明对比的是,挪威现货市场出现轻微降温趋势。在5月29日,多位欧洲市场参与者证实,预计在第23周6月1日至7日)交付的挪威三文鱼价格较前一周下跌了数美分。

欧洲加工企业目前的签约采购价主要集中在每公斤7.00欧元(约合每公斤7.56美元)至每公斤7.15欧元(约合每公斤7.72美元)之间。这与前一周每公斤7.15欧元每公斤7.25欧元(约合每公斤7.72美元每公斤7.83美元)的交易区间相比,出现了明显的下滑。业内人士透露,6公斤及以上的大鱼市场表现好于中等规格的产品,导致4–5公斤5–6公斤产品线之间的价差急剧缩小。

供应紧张催生美国市场反弹

在大西洋的另一端,美国市场则走上了不同的道路。在第22周美国批发市场上的挪威三文鱼价格摆脱了持续数周的低迷,这主要受到冰鲜鱼片成本再度上涨的推动。

2–3磅3–4磅以及4–5磅规格的鱼片价格均攀升了大约每磅0.10美元(约合每公斤0.22美元),并同步拉动了全鱼价格的走高。

尽管呈现出上行势头,但行业内部人士认为,这一轮价格上涨更像是供应链内部的结构性调整,而非长期牛市激增的开始。随着美国市场迈入六月,整体需求保持稳定,但局部供应不平衡的情况依然存在——导致某些特定规格的产品极其短缺,而其他规格则供应充足。
