24 suppliers are currently active in the Frozen Octopus category, with just one updating a listing in the last 30 days. This suggests a stable but slow-moving supply base—buyers can expect consistent product availability, though changes are rare, meaning new listings may take time to appear. For those needing a quick turnaround, it's wise to reach out early to suppliers who have recently updated their offerings. 75 active listings are currently available, offering a solid range of options across different packaging and sizes. With this depth, buyers can find a close match to their requirements without needing to start from scratch or wait for a custom quote. The presence of so many listings also implies that suppliers are maintaining a regular presence in the marketplace, even if updates are infrequent. Suppliers come from 16 different countries, with Germany accounting for 12.5% of the total. This broad geographic spread means buyers have a wide range of sourcing options and can choose based on quality, logistics, or regulatory preferences. It also provides flexibility in case of supply disruptions in any one region, reducing reliance on a single origin. Only 1 buyer inquiry came in over the last 30 days, a dramatic 93.3% drop compared to the previous month. This sharp decline suggests low current demand, which could mean suppliers are not actively seeking new buyers or that the market is in a lull. Buyers should treat this as a signal to act quickly—interest may rebound, and availability could tighten if demand picks up again.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Frozen Octopus had 3 new listings in the last 30 days, less than half the number from the previous month. When comparing offers, the listing date helps identify which ones are closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two similar offers to ensure you're not relying on outdated data.
Is the market busy?
6 of the 24 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new sellers. The pool includes both established names with a history of consistent listings and newer entries building their presence. That gives buyers a range of options, but the newer ones have less track record to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to a new seller.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Frozen Octopus listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 27 October 2026 - 75 active listings, 6 buyer requests, 14 source documents, and 141 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Frozen Octopus type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Frozen Octopus, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
