Carp Market Size, Share, Growth, Investment Trends and Future Outlook 2025-2033

The global carp market size reached USD 119.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 198.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during 2025-2033. The market is primarily driven by increasing aquaculture production, growing exports, rapid movement toward organic and environmentally friendly carp farming methods, and advancements in aquaculture techniques with enhanced breeding practices and sustainable farming methods.

The carp market remains an important part of global aquaculture, supplying food, bait, and ornamental fish. Carp species-such as common carp, grass carp, and silver carp-are grown in ponds, cages, and modern recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). Demand comes from domestic consumption in Asia and Eastern Europe, growing interest in sustainable freshwater protein, and the ornamental koi market, which supports higher-value trade.

A key driver in 2025 is continued consumer demand for affordable protein. Carp are cost-effective to raise and convert feed efficiently, making them attractive for small and large producers alike. Rising awareness of healthy eating and the search for diverse seafood options are encouraging more households to include freshwater fish in their diets. At the same time, urbanization and changing diets increase demand for processed and convenience carp products, like pre-cleaned fillets and ready-to-cook portions.

Technology and production practices are modernizing the carp market. More farms are adopting recirculating aquaculture systems and improved pond management to increase yields while reducing water use and environmental impact. Selective breeding programs and better hatchery techniques are improving growth rates and disease resistance. Precision feeding and mobile apps for farm management help smallholders optimize feed conversion and monitor water quality in real time.

Sustainability and environmental pressure shape purchasing and policy decisions. Consumers and regulators expect responsible practices that limit nutrient runoff, manage escape risk, and protect wild fish populations. Certification schemes and traceability tools are gaining importance, allowing buyers to verify farming methods and origin. Producers who adopt eco-friendly approaches often access premium channels and export markets more easily.

Health and biosecurity remain top concerns in 2025. Disease outbreaks can quickly affect production and trade, so improved veterinary support, vaccination programs, and better on-farm hygiene are priorities. Climate change also influences the market by altering water temperatures and rainfall patterns, which affects pond productivity and the timing of production cycles. Adaptation measures-such as sheltering systems, flexible stocking schedules, and diversified species mixes-help farms manage risk.
