Aquafeed Market to Expand at a CAGR of 5.7% Between 2018-2026

Aquafeed is defined as food specifically prepared for aquatic animals in order to fulfil their nutritional requirements. Aquafeed is generally prepared with specific ingredients and additives that are nutritive in nature, and are supplemented in very small amounts. Aquafeed is now available in vast product ranges, owing to increased consumer attraction towards its functionality and species-specific requirements. Aquafeed is derived from plant sources only, such as corn gluten meal, canola oil, soy meal, and sunflower protein concentrate. Among them, the most commonly used ingredient in aquafeed is marine sources such as fish meal and fish oil. The most marketed and preferred form of aquafeed among the entire global aquafeed products, nowadays, is the extruded type of aquafeed, due to its high disintegration rate and faster onset of action in fish.

Aquaculture production is anticipated to play a crucial role in the aquafeed sector in the coming decade, as most countries are stepping up their production activities and revising the regulations to ease down the aquaculture ecosystem into more friendly international trade zones. At a country level, governments are projecting optimistic forecast overproduction at very realistic levels, which is a great driver for players to invest more into the aquafeed market. Key authorities are indicating strong reforms to be pushed in for aquafeed products in the European market, for which players in key producing countries such as China, Peru, and Norway, among others, have to increase their standard of production for aquafeed to safeguard themselves from the restraints caused by these regulations.

Among the species type segments, the fish segment is expected to register a significant growth rate of around 5.5%, owing to the increasing utilization of fish trimmings in the aquafeed market.

For instance, recently, Cargill Inc. started using fish trimmings as co-products from fisheries in aquafeed in order to reduce the dependency on forage fish.

Data provided by the World Bank indicates that, marine and terrestrial protected areas covered by the UN Environmental Program & the World Conservation Monitoring Centre provide ample opportunities to aquaculture companies to cater to the increasing demand efficiently, which is also anticipated to bolster the growth of aquafeed over the forecast period. The data states that, in the year 2000, the percentage of marine and terrestrial land was around 8.79%, which went up to 12.8% by the end of 2014, showing an opportunistic growth over the years.

In order to minimize the environmental and ecosystem impact caused by aquafeed, several companies are drifting their research towards innovative aquafeed formulations to increase its nutrient digestibility. According to FAO, high digestibility of aquafeed ingredients indicates lesser loss is the nutrient and aquafeed wastage, supporting elimination of negative environmental and ecosystem impacts.
