Overview of Report Findings
1. Market Growth: Aquafeed is a specifically formulated feed that provides
the necessary nutrients (i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins,
minerals, and fats) to support the growth, health, and reproduction of
aquatic species, such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic
organisms. Aquafeed is available in different forms such as pellets,
crumbles, and mash, and its composition is tailored to the specific needs
of the species that are farmed at a particular lifecycle stage. It is
made using ingredients such as soybean meal, corn meal, fish meal, and
fish oil, which are rich sources of necessary nutrients. The aquafeed
market is experiencing growth with increasing consumption of seafood and
rising aquaculture production. With the growth of aquaculture production,
the demand for aquafeed is increasing to meet the nutritional needs of
the farmed aquatic animals.
2. Thriving Aquaculture Industry: Seafood consumption is steadily rising due
to the increasing population and a rising number of people shifting
toward healthier, sustainable, and protein-rich diets. Aquaculture has
therefore become the primary means of meeting this demand. Unlike
traditional fisheries, which face challenges such as overfishing and
environmental constraints, aquaculture offers a sustainable and scalable
solution, producing over half of the seafood consumed worldwide today. As
the aquaculture industry expands, the need for nutritious feed has become
critical to maintaining the health, growth, and productivity of farmed
aquatic animals. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations (FAO), global aquaculture production reached nearly
130.9 million tons in 2022. The global fisheries and aquaculture
production reached nearly 223.2 million tons in 2022, representing a ~4%
increase from 2020. This production consisted of approximately 185.4
million tons of aquatic animals and ~37.8 million tons of algae. The
diversification of aquaculture species, from shrimp and tilapia to salmon
and carp, has also spurred the demand for species-specific feeds tailored
to their unique nutritional needs. As global aquaculture continues to
scale up, the demand for high-quality feed is increasing, propelling the
aquafeed market growth.
3. Rising Demand for Functional and Medicated Feed: The rising incidence of
disease outbreaks in aquaculture systems leading to high mortality rates
among farmed fish or other aquatic species and production losses has
highlighted the critical need for effective nutritional solutions,
driving the demand for functional and medicated feeds. Functional feeds,
fortified with probiotics, prebiotics, and immune-boosting additives,
enhance the health and resilience of farmed aquatic species. These feeds
improve gut health, optimize nutrient absorption, and strengthen the
immune system, reducing the risk of diseases and mortality in aquaculture
operations. Medicated feeds designed to target specific diseases also
present a significant growth opportunity in the global aquafeed market.
These feeds are formulated with therapeutic agents to treat or prevent
diseases caused by bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections, which are
prevalent in intensive farming systems. Thus, rising demand for
functional and medicated aquaculture feed is expected to provide a strong
growth potential to the global aquaculture market over the forecast
period.
4. Geographical Insights: In 2024, Asia Pacific led the market with a
substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and South and Central
America. Middle East and North Africa is estimated to register the
highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Conclusion
Aquafeed is used to nourish farmed aquatic animals such as fish, shrimp, mollusks, and crustaceans. It is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of aquatic species at different life stages, ensuring healthy growth, development, and reproduction. Aquafeed formulation varies depending on the species being farmed, the environment in which they are raised, and the specific nutritional needs at each life stage. Aquafeeds are mainly provided in pellets, granules, and other specialized forms to make them suitable for different aquatic animals.
The aquafeed market is witnessing significant growth due to the increasing demand for seafood, advancements in aquaculture technology, ongoing product innovations, and a shift toward sustainable farming practices. With the growing population and increasing seafood consumption, the demand for high-quality, nutritious feeds is growing. The industry is also adapting to consumer demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, leading to the development of alternative protein sources, such as plant-based and insect-based ingredients. However, challenges such as fluctuating raw material costs, disease management, and regulatory pressures must be addressed to ensure continued growth. With ongoing innovation and a focus on sustainability, the aquafeed market is well-positioned to support the future of aquaculture and contribute to global food security.
The report from The Insight Partners, therefore, provides several stakeholders--including soybean farmers, fishmeal and fish oil manufacturers, seafood waste processors, aquafeed manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and traders--with valuable insights into how to successfully navigate this evolving market landscape and unlock new opportunities.
