Aquaculture Global Market Report 2024

Aquaculture involves the controlled cultivation of aquatic animals in regulated water environments for profit, leisure, or public use. It is a managed practice aimed at enhancing the production of aquatic creatures. Commonly bred marine species in aquaculture include mollusks, shellfish, prawns, and seaweed.

Key fish types in aquaculture encompass carp, mollusks, crustaceans, mackerel, sea bream, and others. Carp aquaculture, focused on oily freshwater fish, is particularly significant in European and Asian countries due to its rapid growth and high tolerance, making it commercially valuable. Aquaculture is practiced in various environments such as marine water, freshwater, and brackish water, utilizing products such as equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers. The species involved in aquaculture include both aquatic animals and plants, distributed through various channels such as traditional retail, supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialized retailers, online stores, and more.

The aquaculture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $249.75 billion in 2023 to $264.17 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The historical growth in aquaculture can be attributed to several factors, including the increased cultivation of aquatic animals, robust economic growth in emerging markets, a rise in disposable income, government initiatives promoting aquaculture, and the imperative need for the restoration of threatened and endangered species populations.

The aquaculture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $340.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. Forecasted growth is driven by increased seafood demand, a health-conscious consumer base, rising fish oil demand, and global population growth with urbanization. Key trends include IoT connectivity, technological advancements, aquaculture drone use, research and development, artificial intelligence integration, climate change-resistant species adoption, and the rise of open-ocean aquaculture.

The increasing demand for seafood is anticipated to drive the growth of the aquaculture market in the foreseeable future. Seafood encompasses edible aquatic animals from both freshwater and ocean environments, including creatures such as lobsters, mussels, crabs, and various other marine species. This surge in seafood demand plays a pivotal role in elevating the significance of aquaculture in the overall fish supply. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a France-based intergovernmental economic organization, a projected 90% of the fish produced will be consumed by humans, with an expected consumption increase of 16.3% by 2029. Consequently, the growing demand for seafood is poised to be a key driver for the expansion of the aquaculture market.

The global population's continuous growth is forecasted to be a significant factor propelling the demand for aquaculture in the future. The increasing population amplifies the requirement for various food and beverages, including seafood and related products, consequently fostering the demand for aquaculture. United Nations data indicates that the world population, which was 7.9 billion in 2021, is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. This escalating urbanization trend is expected to contribute substantially to market growth in the forecast period. The United Nations estimates that by 2050, approximately 68% of the total global population will reside in urban areas, marking a notable increase from the current 55%. The rapid urbanization and population growth, particularly in developing economies, are anticipated to generate high demand for aquaculture in the future.

IoT connectivity is emerging as a significant trend in the aquaculture market, with applications focused on data collection, fish and water quality monitoring, and disease outbreak forecasting. In 2022, during the Aquaculture UK exhibition, R3-IoT introduced the Connected Seafarm system. This system aims to address the challenges of digitizing remote aquaculture operations and sites, specifically designed for the aquaculture sector. The Scottish company claims that Connected Seafarm is a comprehensive end-to-end data services solution that wirelessly connects smart devices worldwide, including sensors and analytics platforms. It is designed for easy and rapid installation, ensuring automatic and continuous data collection irrespective of the available connectivity infrastructure, eliminating the need for specialized internal technical expertise.

Technological advancements represent a prominent trend gaining traction in the aquaculture market, with major players introducing advanced products such as brackish water aquaculture technology. In August 2021, the ICAR-CIBA, a research institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, launched brackish water aquaculture technology interventions for livelihood development in the public domain of Tamil Nadu. This initiative, named 'Diversification of livelihoods among coastal through brackish water aquaculture technologies integrated with agro-based technologies and societal developments,' was organized as part of India's 75th independence anniversary celebrations (Azad Ki Amrut Mahotsav) under the CIBA Tribal Sub-Plan 20/6 and CIBA - SCSP schemes. The program included interventions for Scheduled Tribal farmers and Scheduled Caste farmers, emphasizing the integration of aquaculture technologies with agro-based technologies and societal developments.

In November 2021, Brazil-based meat processing company JBS S.A. acquired Huon Aquaculture for $425 million, marking JBS's entry into the aquaculture sector. Huon Aquaculture, based in Australia, is a company specializing in aquaculture and food processing.
