The foodservice industry is expected to drive the market
- The on-trade channel accounted for a significant share in 2022. Shrimp sales witnessed a Y-o-Y growth of 2.07% by value from 2021 to 2022. The increase in the frequency of dining out boosted the market's growth globally. For instance, around 70% of the population in countries like the United States, China, Malaysia, and India dined out to consume seafood in 2022. Another major factor that drove the sales of shrimp globally was the increase in disposable incomes. The rise in the number of foodservice establishments, such as food trucks, quick-service restaurants, and full-service restaurants, and the emerging trend of cloud kitchens also boosted the sales of shrimp through the on-trade channel.
- The off-trade channel is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period, with a CAGR of 2.76% by value. Among all off-trade channels, supermarkets and hypermarkets accounted for a share of more than 61.02% in 2022. Consumers switched to private-label brands instead of national brands, which offer more varieties of shrimp products, such as South American white shrimp, Asian white shrimp, and breaded shrimp products. Private-label brands are able to attract consumers with a wide range of shrimp products, such as peeled shrimp, processed shrimp, and shell-on shrimp.
- The online channel is projected to be the fastest-growing channel, registering a CAGR of 5.10% during the forecast period. Major online stores like Amazon, Walmart, The Kroger Co., and others have launched more products with ASC certification. Around 46% of consumers made online purchases for groceries in 2021. The increase in the adoption of e-commerce is expected to favor the growth of the market.

Shrimp imports are increasing in the Western markets and Japan
- The cost of aquaculture inputs (feed, fuel, and transportation) increased significantly in 2022, causing difficulties for shrimp farmers worldwide. Nevertheless, production and export of farmed shrimp in Asia were moderate in 2022. In terms of species, vannamei shrimp dominated the supply. From January to June 2022, the cumulative shrimp imports to the top five markets were 1.36 million tons, up by 13% from the same period last year. Imports of semi-processed (peeled shrimp) and processed shrimp (breaded and others) increased in Western markets and Japan during this period, mainly from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and China.
- Asia-Pacific dominates the shrimp market, with a 41% higher market share than North America and a 41.5% higher market share than Europe. This is mainly due to its population, as around 59% of the global population lives in Asia. More countries are producing shrimp, such as India, Thailand, China, and others, which account for around 58% of global production, and 49% of the shrimp produced is consumed locally. The rest is exported to other countries like the United States for premium prices.
- South America is likely to be the fastest-growing shrimp market. It is expected to record a CAGR of 3.77% by value during the forecast period. The country is known for the premium quality and prices of its shrimp. The increase in investments and demand for premium shrimp is expected to drive the market. Brazilian shrimp producers were targeting 20% growth through 2023, helped by an explosion of small-scale producers in the northeast of the country. Achieving this target would boost production to 180,000 tons and allow new and existing producers to capitalize on domestic demand as consumers sought variety in their diets.
