Aquafeed & Aquaculture Additives Market size worth over USD 117 billion by 2030

 According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Aquafeed & Aquaculture Additives Market size is set to surpass USD 117 billion by the end of 2030.
 

Aquafeed formulations are produced by adding vegetable proteins, vitamins, minerals, and cereal grains and serve as healthy diets for various aquatic animals such as crustaceans, carp mollusks, salmon, catfish, tilapia, and others. In other words, they are feed given to aquatic farmed animals as a part of aquaculture in order to ensure healthy growth and achieve a more sustainable aquaculture.
 

Aquaculture additives are chemical compounds used to enhance immunity, boost growth, provide basic nutrients and protect the aquatic animals from infection. These are mainly required to overcome the mineral deficit in aquafeed and complete the overall diet of aquatic animals. Rising disposable income and increasing urbanization has resulted in growing demand for seafood which should stimulate market growth.
 

Growing aquaculture industry worldwide led to increasing production of fish, in turn, is projected to boost the growth of aquafeed and aquaculture additives market during the stipulated timeframe. The rising global population has resulted in an increase in the consumption of animal protein. Various countries such as China, Indonesia, Norway, India, Australia, UK, and Singapore are investing heavily on aquaculture infrastructure and boosting up the fishery resources.
 

Increasing prevalence of aquaculture diseases should enhance the requirement of antibiotics additives in aquaculture

The antibiotics product of the aquafeed & aquaculture market surpassed USD 305 million in 2021 and should grow at a rate of 3.5% CAGR during the forecast period. Antibiotics aid in the promotion of all-round growth by providing better health in crowded conditions, maximizing productivity and preventing the occurrence of diseases in aquaculture animals.
 

The excessive use of antibiotics may create an antibody for the species & medical conditions deemed untreatable. The development of antibiotic resistance bacteria in aquaculture should result in the formulation of regulations by countries to limit the use of antibiotics in feed and additives. Innovations in medical technologies have attributed to the development of alternatives and plant-based antibiotics.
 

High protein content and associated health benefits are expected to drive the aquafeed & aquaculture additives market from carp

The aquafeed & aquaculture additives market from the carp end- is anticipated to cross USD 27 billion in the stipulated timeframe, indicating over 7% gains. Carps are a viable source of protein, containing low fats and high omega-3 fatty acids that protect heart health. Moreover, calcium or iron deficiencies, which affect the immune system, can also be cured by carp consumption, which in turn should drive the aquafeed & aquaculture additives market.
 

The rise in global geriatric population, unhealthy diets, and tobacco consumption has increased the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. This should be a key factor which may lead to increase in the consumption of carps in human food.
