Aquafeed Market Insights

The global aquafeed market is projected to grow at a high CAGR% during the forecast period. Rising aquaculture activities, increasing seafood trade, and growing human consumption of fish due to the increasing awareness about its health benefits are the primary factors driving the growth of the market. Aquafeed is a compounded meal prepared from vegetarian and non-vegetarian sources for aquatic animals according to the specific requirements of species and age of the animal. It has become crucial to the aquaculture industry due to its nutritional, immune resistant, and growth-promoting properties. Rising per capita income in developing countries, increasing consumption of seafood, and growing concerns for cross-contamination & sea foodborne disease such as vibrio, salmonella, and listeria are some of the other factors propelling the growth of the market. However, stringent market regulations in seawater fishing and increasing raw material cost are likely to hamper the market growth.

Aquafeed Market Size: By Species

Based on species, the aquafeed market is segmented into fish, crustaceans, and mollusks among others. The fish segment is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period attributing to the rising demand for fish due to the increase in income levels and rising fish farming activities. The fish segment is further segmented into various types such as carp, salmon, and tilapia among others. Carp fish type holds the largest market share in the fish feed market owing to its abundant availability and popularity. The mollusks segment is also expected to witness significant growth over the period owing to the increasing demand for protein-rich healthy food products.

Aquafeed Market Size: By Ingredient

Based on ingredient, the aquafeed market is segmented into soybean, corn, fish oil, and additives among others. The soybean segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to its rising consumption as it is cheaper than fishmeal. Soybean is among the non-fish sources of omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, and unsaturated fats and is fed to farm-reared fish and shellfish to enhance their overall development and growth.

Aquafeed Market Size: By Additive

Based on additive, the aquafeed market is segmented into antibiotics, vitamins & minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, and probiotics & prebiotics among others. The amino acid segment is estimated to dominate the market during the forecast period attributing to its rising demand due to its extensive application in aquafeed activities. The amino acid is the main component of proteins, which promotes the growth, production, and overall maintenance of aquatic animal health.

Aquafeed Market Size: By Region

On the basis of region, the market of aquafeed is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Central & South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also estimated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The presence of vast aquaculture industries particularly in China and India is expected to drive the demand for aquafeed in the region over the forecast period. Availability of cheap labor and raw materials is also driving the market growth in the region. Growing population along with rising inclination towards salmon farming is also propelling the market growth for aquafeed.
