Aquafeed products can be described as any feed given to aquatic farmed animals as part of aquaculture. It is primarily sourced from vegetables, grains, oilseeds, and other components. It supplies the nutritional requirements for their normal physiological functions. It supplies essential nutrients such as amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins. The growth of the Asia-Pacific Aquafeed market is driven by high seafood production, increase in seafood trade. Furthermore, a rise in per capita income in developing nations in the Asian region is expected to positively contribute to the growth of the market.
The growth of the market is driven by high seafood consumption in countries like India, China, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia etc. Total fisheries and aquaculture production reached a record 214 million tonnes in 2020, comprising 178 million tonnes of aquatic animals and 36 million tonnes of algae, largely due to the growth of aquaculture, particularly in Asia. According to the Indian Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, during the fiscal year 2020, fish production in India amounted to over 14 million metric tons, an increase from about 13.57 million metric tons in the fiscal year 2019. Thus, high seafood production is expected to create a demand for aquafeed. This is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, an increase in seafood trade is expected to positively impact the growth of the market. For instance, according to MPEDA, during 2021-22, India exported 13,69,264 MT of Seafood worth US$ 7.76 Billion which is all time high exports by value. USA and China are the major importers of Indian seafood. Frozen Shrimp continued to be the major export item. Thus, an increase in seafood trade by Asian nations is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
Various initiatives taken by many government agencies are increasing fish seed production. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, the government of India allocated USD 73.84 million for the continuation of the 'Blue Revolution Scheme' during the financial year 2020-21. This scheme undertakes various ongoing fisheries development programs, including marine fishery, mariculture, and aquaculture. It is anticipated to provide new growth opportunities in the upcoming years.

The Asia-Pacific Aquafeed market comprises of different market segments like additives, form, feed, end users and country
By additives, the Asia-Pacific Aquafeed market includes the key segments like
The amino acid segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. Amino acids offers improved immunity, improved larval performance, optimized metabolic transformation efficiency in fish, increased tolerance to environmental stress, and, improved spawning timing. It also helps improve the taste and texture of fillets when added to aquafeed.
The antibiotics segment is expected to witness high growth over the projected time period. Antibiotics are the most commonly used additives in aquafeed. They promote better growth by improving overall health and are used to maximize productivity and efficiency.
By form, the Aquafeed market includes segments like
The dry form is expected to lead the market over the forecast period. Dry aquafeed products are very palatable. Its ability to increase the fish feed conversion ratio is a key factor fuelling the growth of the segment.
The wet form is projected to witness high growth over the forecast period. Wet food is a commonly used form of water-based food. They are made with ingredients with a high moisture content, such as slaughterhouse waste, undried feed, and peach waste. These wet foods are mainly intended for use with carnivorous fish such as sea bream, bass and eel, among others.
By feed, the Asia-Pacific Aquafeed market includes key segments such as
The grower feed segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. Rise in use by animals aged 6 to 20 weeks to meet their nutritional needs is a key factor that is expected to drive the growth of the segment. Grower feed is given to the animal until it is ready to start breeding and laying eggs.
The finisher feed segment is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period. Finisher food is usually given to adult fish/animals over 20 weeks old. It provides the nutrients that meet the animal's key needs. It provides a high level of energy, so that normal activities run smoothly.
The Asia-Pacific Aquafeed market includes major end users like
The carp segment is expected to dominate the market over the estimated time period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing consumption of carps due its associated health benefits, such as strengthening immunity, improving heart health, managing chronic disease, and protecting gastrointestinal functions.
Furthermore, the catfish segment is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period. Catfish is raised in freshwater ponds with rice, corn and soy as water fodder. It is the preferred group of farmed aquaculture species due to its ease of cultivation in less than ideal climatic conditions. The rise in demand for catfish due to its rich content of vitamin D and omega-6 fatty acids is expected to increase the demand for aquatic feed.
