COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Established leaders consolidate positions as inflation tests smaller competitors
In Peru’s processed meat, seafood and alternatives market, leading brands have largely succeeded in defending their positions despite inflationary pressures and slowing volume growth, while smaller companies have faced more constraints due to limited investment capacity and intense price competition. San Fernando remains the clear reference point, particularly in poultry, leveraging its strong presence in chicken and turkey through vertically integrated operations that ensure quality control, consistent supply and visibility across both traditional and modern channels.
Seafood specialists and premium charcuterie brands emerge as dynamic challengers
In 2025, Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila SA stood out as one of the fastest-growing companies in the category, capitalising on its production capabilities and a commercial strategy that has expanded its presence in the Peruvian market. Its portfolio of seafood products has resonated strongly with consumers who value freshness, traceability and alignment with healthier eating patterns, positioning the company to benefit from the gradual shift towards fish as a desirable source of lean protein.
