Surimi industrial technology developed by Japan in the early 1960s promoted the growth of the surimi industry. The successful growth of the industry was based on the Alaska pollock and walleye pollock.

Given the diversity of available information, significant uncertainty remains about global output of surimi and surimi-based products. However this study attempts to fill the gaps in information and to propose an estimate of output. Overall, it aims to provide an up-to-date and general overview rather than a detailed rundown on all aspects of the global surimi sector.
