Aquafeed Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry is expected to drive the growth of the aquafeed market

• The massive growth in aquaculture as a result of rising global demand for seafood is among the prominent factors igniting the high-quality aquafeed demand.
• Global seafood demand is rising steadily due to population growth, increasing disposable incomes, and recognition of seafood as a healthy protein source. With wild fish stocks under pressure, aquaculture has emerged as the solution to meet this growing demand.
• The more fish are farmed, the more feed is required, and that means that total demand for aquafeed is generally increasing.
• As aquaculture moves away from conventional species, specific feeds must be made for different types of fish.
• Intensive farming practices necessitate highly efficient feeds to optimize growth and minimize waste.

Health and nutrition focus

• Growing awareness of fish health and nutrition is indeed leading to increased demand for specialized and functional aquafeeds.
• Furthermore, farmers are realising that their fish thrive when cared for, and that this can translate into better production results. The growing demand for feeds that improve animal health and immune function is shaping this industry.
• We see a growth in functional feeds, which contain immunostimulants as well as other functional ingredients that can be used as prevention that reduces the use of antibiotics and other anti-microbials.
• Farmers are seeking feeds tailored to different life stages of fish, from larval development to broodstock conditioning, optimizing nutrition at each growth phase.
