The report serves as a one-stop shop for market trends, forecasts, and market size estimations (in dollars) for the projected period (2023-2030). Notably, the report looks beyond the 2018-2024 timeframe and focuses on the upcoming years, providing a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) forecast for the aquaculture market throughout 2023-2030.

The rising popularity of seafood consumption is driving significant growth in the aquaculture industry. This sector focuses on the farming of aquatic species, including fish, shellfish, and even seaweed, to meet this growing demand. The importance of aquaculture is further highlighted by estimates from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which predict that a staggering 90% of all fish produced will be consumed by humans. Furthermore, with seafood consumption expected to surge by 16.3% by 2029, this growing demand translates directly to a rising CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) for the aquaculture market. In simpler terms, the more people eat seafood, the more the aquaculture industry needs to expand to keep up, fueling market growth

Market Dynamics

Drivers:

·        Rising Seafood Demand:  Consumer preferences are shifting towards increased seafood consumption. The OECD estimates that 90% of fish produced will be consumed by humans, with demand expected to rise by 16.3% by 2029. This surge in demand fuels the need for aquaculture to supplement wild fish populations.

·        Health Benefits of Seafood: Growing awareness of the health benefits associated with seafood consumption, rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, motivates consumers and promotes market expansion.

·        Protein Demand: Aquaculture offers a sustainable solution to meet the growing global protein demand. As the population increases, aquaculture provides a reliable source of protein to combat potential food shortages.

·        Fish Oil Applications:  The expanding use of fish oil in diverse applications like pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, healthcare, and the food industry creates a strong demand for aquaculture products.

Opportunities:

·        Aquaculture for Beautification:  Beyond food production, aquaculture offers aesthetic value. The use of fish in aquariums, indoor waterfalls, and other water features creates a new market segment with growth potential.

·        Rice-Fish Culture: Emerging trends like the adoption of rice-fish culture, where fish and rice are farmed together in a symbiotic system, present exciting opportunities for major aquaculture market players.

·        Technological Advancements:  Innovations in areas like breeding, disease control, and monitoring systems can enhance efficiency and productivity within the aquaculture industry.
