Shrimp Market Size

Shrimp Market was valued at USD 72.6 billion in 2023 and is estimated to record a CAGR of over 6.6% during 2024 to 2032. Shrimp's popularity as a versatile and cost-effective source of high protein is one of the main factors driving demand. Shrimp is widely used in many cuisines due to its mild flavor and adaptability, and it is also simple to prepare in a variety of dishes like shrimp scampi, shrimp cocktails, and sushi. Demand for this seafood item has also increased as a result of consumers' rising awareness of the health advantages of shrimp, particularly its high protein and low-calorie content.
 

Seafood products, such as tuna, salmon, and cod, are popular among consumers and can be less expensive than shrimp. Furthermore, some consumers may prefer the flavor or texture of other seafood products to shrimp. Shrimp faces competition from plant-based seafood alternatives, in addition to other seafood products. These alternatives are gaining popularity, particularly among consumers seeking more sustainable or ethical food options.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The pandemic of COVID-19 has had a great impact on the shrimp industry. The supply chain was disrupted in the early stages of the pandemic, since many shrimp farms and processing companies were closed or working at reduced capacity. This resulted in a drop in shrimp supply and an increase in costs. Furthermore, the pandemic reduced demand for shrimp by closing numerous restaurants and other foodservice businesses. A variety of reasons contributed to this, including social distancing measures, lockdowns, and a drop in customer confidence.
 

Shrimp Market Trends

The growing emphasis on sustainability and responsible sourcing procedures in the shrimp business is being pushed by growing environmental and ethical concerns. Consumers are seeking ecologically friendly shrimp products, and industry players are implementing aquaculture innovations such as closed-loop systems and improved feed formulations to lower the ecological imprint of shrimp farming.
 

Shrimp Market Analysis:

Based on type, the white shrimp segment accounted for USD 43.67 Billion in 2022. White shrimp is becoming more popular, in part because there are more high-quality white shrimp items on the market. This is because aquaculture technology has advanced, and new white shrimp types have been created that are better suited for industrial production. The growing awareness of shrimp's health advantages is another element influencing demand for white shrimp. Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and other necessary nutrients are all present in white shrimp in good amounts.
 

Based on form, the frozen segment held a dominant market share of around 56.5% in 2022. Frozen shrimp is a convenient and quick seafood choice. It can be swiftly thawed and prepared, making it a popular choice among busy consumers. Frozen shrimp is often less expensive than fresh shrimp. This makes it a more appealing option for people on a limited budget. Thus, the aforementioned factors are projected to expedite the Shrimp market growth.
 

Based on end-use, the residential sector surpassed USD 38.39 Billion in 2022. Residential consumer demand for shrimp has continuously increased due to its reputation as a versatile and quick-to-prepare protein source, making it a popular choice for home-cooked meals. Consumer interest in frozen and processed shrimp goods such as breaded shrimp, shrimp scampi, and shrimp cocktail has increased as more people cook at home, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This demand driver has resulted in increased retail sales of shrimp, adding to overall revenue growth in the shrimp business.
 

Based on distribution channel, the supermarkets and hypermarkets segment exceeded USD 26.12 Billion in 2022. Supermarkets and hypermarkets have a large selection of shrimp products at one convenient location.
