According to IMARC Group, the global fish meal market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.98% during 2024-2032. The report has segmented the market by type (whole fish, by-product from wild capture, by-product from aquaculture), species (marine, trimming), application (aquaculture, swine, poultry, and others), and region.

A prominent trend in the global fish meal market is the increasing emphasis on sustainable sourcing and certification. Consumers and regulatory bodies are demanding transparency and responsible fishing practices. This has led to the rise of certifications like the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), ensuring that fish meal is sourced from well-managed fisheries, thus appealing to environmentally-conscious consumers. The market is witnessing the exploration of alternative protein sources for aquaculture and animal feed, partly driven by concerns over overfishing. Innovations in plant-based and insect-based proteins are challenging traditional fish meal usage. Companies are investing in research to develop cost-effective and sustainable alternatives, potentially reshaping the market landscape.

Increasing Demand for Aquaculture:

The global fish meal market is significantly driven by the rising demand for aquaculture, particularly in the production of fish and shrimp. As the world’s population grows and dietary preferences shift toward seafood, aquaculture becomes a vital source of protein. Fish meal serves as a crucial ingredient in aquaculture feed, providing essential nutrients and aiding in the rapid growth of farmed fish. The expanding aquaculture sector, driven by health-conscious consumers seeking sustainable protein sources, fuels the demand for fish meal.

Growth in Animal Feed Industry:

The animal feed industry relies on fish meal as a high-quality protein source for livestock and poultry. With the increase in the global demand for meat and dairy products, the need for nutritious animal feed is also increasing, which is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, fish meal’s nutritional profile, including its amino acid content and digestibility, makes it a preferred choice. This demand from the animal feed sector plays a pivotal role in driving the fish meal market toward growth.

Health Benefits and Nutritional Value:

Fish meal is prized for its nutritional value, containing essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It therefore is often used in pet food, aquaculture, and livestock feed due to its ability to promote healthy growth and development, which is driving the market toward growth. As consumers become more health-conscious and seek premium pet and livestock nutrition, the demand for fish meal as an ingredient in these sectors grows. This, in turn, is contributing to the global fish meal market growth.
