Thai Union Group shifts strategy to high-value collagen exports to Europe
What happened
Thai Union Group is supplying collagen, extracted from tuna-processing byproducts, to health and beauty markets in Europe. This move is part of the company's Strategy 2030, which involves shifting its global business model away from volume growth toward value creation. The company is also increasing its share of own-brand products, which currently account for 48% of its business.

Why it matters
The strategic shift aims for annual revenue growth of 4-6% and seeks to raise the return on assets from approximately 5% to 7-8% within two to three years. Thai Union Group is also monitoring trade conditions, including expected tariff reductions in Europe in mid-2027.
Thai Union Group sells products in both the European market and the North American market.
