Protein Hydrolysates in Aquaculture Feed Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025 - 2034
The Global Protein Hydrolysates in Aquaculture Feed Market was valued at USD 312.5 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% to reach USD 800.4 million by 2034.
The ingredients are produced through controlled enzymatic or chemical breakdown of protein-rich marine and terrestrial sources into smaller, highly digestible peptides and amino acids. Their use enhances nutrient absorption, boosts growth performance, and strengthens disease resistance in farmed aquatic species, making them essential for modern, sustainable aquaculture systems. Market expansion is strongly influenced by growing emphasis on responsible farming practices, supported by regulatory frameworks that encourage circular resource use. North America is emerging as the fastest-growing region as policies encourage transforming fishery waste into high-value hydrolysates, reducing environmental impact, and supporting compliance with sustainability standards. Rising demand for eco-friendly feed inputs and the shift toward natural, high-performance additives are driving increased adoption. The global aquaculture sector's heightened focus on health, immunity, and efficient feed utilization further accelerates the need for bioactive protein hydrolysates.
