  • Aquafeeds are specialized compound meals formulated for aquatic animals using various raw materials and additives. These mixtures are tailored to meet the specific nutritional requirements of different species and life stages. Aquafeed is crucial in aquaculture, providing immune support, nutrition, and growth promotion. High-quality commercial aquafeed offers superior benefits to mollusks, fish, crustaceans, and other aquatic animals compared to farm-made feed due to its balanced and species-specific composition.
  • The region has experienced a significant increase in direct fish consumption. The United States per capita seafood consumption grew by 30% over the last two decades, reaching 9.2 kg per capita in 2023, according to USDA. This trend is attributed to the increased availability of fish varieties in retail markets and the associated health benefits, including improved cognitive development in children, reduced body fat levels, and decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, the United States Census Bureau reports an annual growth rate of 2.27% in per capita income, which is estimated to support the continued expansion of the aquafeed industry in the region.
  • Government initiatives in the region are likely to encourage aquaculture producers to use high-quality aquafeed. For instance, in September 2023, the United States Government committed USD 200 million to support tribally led salmon reintroduction efforts in the Upper Columbia River Basin.
  • As public awareness of the health benefits of fish consumption grows, along with government initiatives and the factors mentioned above, the market is projected to expand during the study period. However, certain constraints may limit market growth, such as the fluctuating prices of raw materials, which could negatively impact the development of the aquafeed market in the region.
