MARKET OVERVIEW- GLOBAL AQUAFEED MARKET

MARKET DRIVERS 

The global fish feed market is primarily driven by increasing seafood trade, growth in aquaculture production, and increasing consumer consumption of seafood due to the growing need for high protein diets. Aquafeed comprises one or more artificial and/or natural foods in the form of pellets or extruded pieces for commercial fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Growth in global aqua feed consumption continues to be significant due to the growth of the aquaculture industry. Global aquaculture production has grown rapidly over the past decades, contributing significantly to the global supply of fish and seaweed for human and animal consumption. 

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Rising per capita income, especially in developing countries, is expected to support the growth of aquaculture and the feed industry. Most of the seafood demand is supplied by the US market. The National Marine Fisheries Service has introduced strict regulatory frameworks for the production, use and marketing of the fishing industry, making the aquafeed market more organized and modern. Recently, the United States banned the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in feed additives for aquatic animals. As a result of this ban, other natural alternatives have increased the demand for essential oils as they serve the required production with cost advantages, increasing the demand for feed for water. This is expected to be an innovative growth opportunity for the market. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The market has major restraining factor like rise in raw material costs as majority of high-quality feed is prepared by fish meal and fish oil. Besides, increasing concern for the environment and sustainability, which is heightened by the fact that so many fish are produced in public water bodies is another factor which is expected to restraining the growth of the market over the forecast period.

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES

The Covid-19 pandemic hampered the growth of market to major extent which has created a major challenges for the market growth. Also, the limited knowledge of the nutritional requirements of the vast majority of the fish and crustacean species currently farmed today is one of the biggest challenges currently facing aquafeed producers. This factor is expected to be a major challenge for the market growth over the forecast the period. 

CUMULATIVE GROWTH ANALYSIS

MARKET SEGMENTAL OVERVIEW

The global aquafeed market comprises of different market segment like additives, form, feed, end users and geography. 

AQUAFEED MARKET BY ADDITIVES

By additives, the global Aquafeed market includes the key segments of 
  • Antibiotics
  • Vitamins & minerals
  • Antioxidants
  • Amino acids
  • Feed Acidifiers
  • Anti-parasitic
  • Enzymes
  • Probiotics & prebiotics
The amino acid segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This high proportion of growth of this segment  is attributed to benefits such as improved immunity, improved larval performance, optimized metabolic transformation efficiency in fish, increased tolerance to environmental stress, mediated efficiency, improves time spawning and also improvement of the taste and texture of fillets when added to aquafeed.

AQUAFEED MARKET BY FORM

By form, the global Aquafeed market is segmented into
  • Dry
  • Moist
  • Wet
The dry from of aquafeed is expected to maintain its dominance over the estimated time period. This is attributed to its ability to increase the fish feed conversion ratio. It is also very likely that it will gain ground in the next few years as dry food is very palatable. Furthermore, wet food is also 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 produced daily in the barns of the farm and are mainly intended for carnivorous fish such as sea bream, bass and eel, among others. In addition to dry and wet food, moist food is also used to a significant extent. These foods are made by mixing wet, dry and wet raw materials. Due to the presence of sodium chloride and propylene glycol in some of the wet foods, they do not need to be frozen.

AQUAFEED MARKET BY FEED

By feed, the Aquafeed market is segmented into  
  • Starter Feed
  • Grower Feed
  • Finisher Feed
  • Brooder Feed 
The grower feed is expected to find increasing demand in the market over the forecast period.  The high proportion of growth of this segment is due to increasing use by animals aged 6 to 20 weeks to meet their nutritional needs. This type of food is given to the animal until it is ready to start breeding and laying eggs. It is necessary to switch from a starter food to a growth food because excessive levels of protein can lead to long-term liver or kidney problems.

AQUAFEED MARKET BY END USERS

The Aquafeed market has major end users like 
  • Carp
  • Rainbow Trout
  • Salmon
  • Crustaceans
  • Tilapia
  • Catfish
  • Sea Bass
  • Grouper
  • Molluscs
  • Others
The carp segment is expected to maintain its dominance over the estimated time period. The high growth rate of the segment can be attributed to the increasing consumption of this strain for its associated health benefits, such as strengthening immunity, improving heart health, managing chronic disease, and protecting gastrointestinal functions. Catfish, one of the sustainable fish species, are 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 growing consumer 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.
