The market’s growth is attributable to increased fish consumption, which has boosted aquaculture activities. This is one of the primary elements that has fueled the growth of global aquafeed market. Additionally, consumers have become aware of the advantages of high-quality seafood products. As a result, the supply of enhanced aquafeed is likely to improve globally during the forecast period.
Rise in Global Fish Consumption isFueling the Market Growth
Global fish consumption has increased due to population expansion, rising affluence in developing countries, and urbanization. Fish and other seafood consumption has risen at the expense of staple foods, and this trend is strongly linked to growing disposable income and animal protein consumption. Globally, fisheries and aquaculture are becoming the primary source of protein, foreign exchange, livelihoods, and population well-being.
Asia-Pacific and Latin America are likely to witness the largest increase in fish consumption due to various factors, including changes in diet habits, urbanization, population growth, and economic growth.Fish demand continues to outpace domestic supplies in China, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Even though Europe and North America have limited aquaculture businesses, there is a significant demand for fish products, which Asian suppliers provide. In 2017, the EU's per capita fish and seafood intake was 24.35 kg, with Portugal having the highest per capita consumption.
Government Support is likely to Create Immense Opportunities for the Market.
The rise in demand for the consumption of seafood globally has created immense opportunities for aquaculture industries. Countries like India, the fourth biggest seafood exporter, may see upward trends in coming years with government support. India's government has prioritized making India the world's top seafood producer, according to a statement given by Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Som Parkash in February 2020 at the 22nd India International Seafood Show. This sector, which employs around 14.5 million people, can significantly contribute to the country's overall economic growth.
India's total share of the global seafood market is predicted to rise from 4.1 % to 6.7 % by 2030, according to Kerala state governor Arif Mohammad Khan, due to increased production, value addition, and diversification. The fisheries sector employs roughly 40.5 million people in India, directly and indirectly, and contributes 1% to the country's gross domestic product. Khan has also urged increased foreign direct investment to spur product variety and value addition through innovation. According to a letter from Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairying Pratap Chandra Sarangi to Shobha Karandlaje, a Member of Parliament in India's bicameral parliament, India's fish production increased nearly 6% to 13.34 million MT in 2018-2019, up from 12.59 million MT in 2017-2018. Therefore, favorable government support is creating immense opportunities in the global aquafeed market

Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has, however, made operations more difficult because of shortage of staff and new sanitary guidelines imposed for fisheries and processing. Feed companies have ensured significant supplies to farmers to safeguard their animals' health and well-being and maintain the production level on farms. The rising demand for fish has surge export-oriented aquaculture and increased the adoption of 'Scientific Aquaculture Management Practices' (SAMP). Several feed companies have provided significant supplies to farmers to protect their animals' health and well-being, and production levels remain high. Export-oriented aquaculture and Scientific Aquaculture Management Practices (SAMP) have sprung up in response to the growing demand for fish amid the pandemic. Due to this, fish farming is expected to grow, providing an opportunity for the aquafeed industry to grow. The fish farming trend will likely develop due to the limited supply of marine feed and the growing demand for fish, which will significantly contribute to the growth of the compound feed market.
