Global Marine Feed Market Set to USD 83.0 billion by 2035 Amid Rising Demand for Sustainable Aquaculture

The global marine feed market is poised for remarkable growth, with its valuation expected to increase from USD 42.6 billion in 2025 to USD 83.0 billion by 2035, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% over the forecast period. This surge represents an absolute dollar opportunity of USD 40.4 billion, fueled by the rising global appetite for seafood and the intensification of aquaculture practices.

Marine feed, critical for fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, is increasingly recognized for its role in enhancing growth rates, improving feed conversion ratios, and promoting sustainable aquaculture. Fish dominates the market, accounting for 69% of total marine feed consumption, underscoring its central position in global aquaculture production.

The market's expansion is underpinned by both established players and emerging manufacturers seeking to capitalize on the evolving industry landscape. Companies like Skretting, BioMar Group, Cargill Inc., Aller Aqua, and Zeigler Bros., Inc., are at the forefront, leveraging investment in innovative feed formulations, sustainable raw materials, and scalable aquaculture solutions. Their efforts are driving the development of functional fish diets, specialized crustacean feeds, and eco-responsible aquafeed systems tailored for diverse species.

Innovation and Sustainability Driving Market Dynamics

The push for sustainable aquaculture is reshaping the marine feed market. Alternative protein sources such as soybean, algae, krill meal, and microalgae are increasingly replacing traditional fishmeal and fish oil, reflecting the industry's commitment to environmental stewardship. Soybean, in particular, constitutes 46% of feed formulations due to its high protein content, affordability, and improved digestibility through advanced processing technologies.

Manufacturers are now focusing on multifunctional feed solutions designed to enhance nutrient absorption, water quality management, and overall animal health. Advanced formulations-including specialized hatchery powders, functional grower pellets, and fortified feed blends-are creating new opportunities for both established and emerging companies to differentiate their offerings and capture market share.

Regional Growth Hotspots

East Asia, Europe, and South Asia are set to remain key growth regions. The UK leads with a projected CAGR of 10.3%, driven by salmon and trout farming, adoption of algae- and plant-based feeds, and government-backed sustainability initiatives. India, at 8.5% CAGR, benefits from its thriving shrimp and carp farming sectors, export-led aquaculture growth, and government support for feed modernization.

China's marine feed market, expanding at 7.9% CAGR, is characterized by large-scale carp, tilapia, and shrimp farming, coupled with a shift toward soy- and algae-based feed solutions. Japan's market is expected to grow at 7.3%, emphasizing premium fish species, precision feeding systems, and sustainable aquaculture practices, while the USA, at 6.2% CAGR, is seeing increasing adoption of alternative proteins and eco-friendly feed technologies.

Competitive Landscape and Emerging Opportunities

The marine feed market is moderately consolidated, with leading companies like Cargill, Skretting, and BioMar Group dominating the premium segment through innovation, digital platforms, and species-specific formulations. Regional innovators, including Avanti Feeds in India and Tongwei Co., Ltd. in China, are leveraging localized sourcing, cost-efficient production, and sustainability certifications to expand their presence.

Recent developments underscore the market's dynamism. In June 2025, Alltech acquired Finnforel's stake in AlltechFennoaqua Oy, strengthening its focus on sustainable aquaculture in Finland and Northern Europe. Meanwhile, BioMar's Myre and Karmøy facilities in Norway achieved ASC Feed certification in May 2025, enabling the production of locally sourced, ASC-compliant feed for Norwegian salmon farmers.
