•         The increasing trend towards veganism, driven by health benefits such as reduced risk of obesity and improved heart health, is anticipated to negatively impact the consumption of seafood. Consequently, this decrease in seafood consumption is expected to reduce the demand for aquatic feed ingredients and products. For instance, the youth in Mexico are embracing veganism and this trend is projected to continue. Similarly, countries like the UK, Germany, and France are witnessing a rise in the number of vegans. These developments are likely to hamper the growth of the aquatic feed ingredients and products market during the forecast period.

•         The global aquaculture industry faces challenges in meeting the nutritional needs of aquatic species, particularly as production and consumption continue to grow. Compound aquatic feeds, made from ingredients like soybean, fish meal, fish oil, corn/maize, and feed enzymes, are essential for optimal growth. However, the evolution of feed equipment and the need for sustainable aquaculture have led to innovation in the aquafeed market. Soybean and fish meal remain key protein sources, but alternative ingredients like insect proteins and plant-based alternatives are gaining popularity due to human health concerns and environmental sustainability. Seafood demand continues to rise, driving the need for high-quality aquafeed. Raw materials and additives, such as grains, oils and fats, marine proteins, and terrestrial proteins, are crucial components of aquatic feed. The use of antibiotics in feed and the shift towards dry form aquafeed and pelletized feeds for grower feeds are also trends shaping the market. Ornamental fish and various aquatic species also require proper nutrition. Meeting their nutritional needs while addressing challenges like nutrient-rich food, aquaculture production, and aquaculture technologies, is crucial for the continued growth of the industry.

1.1 Fishes-  The global aquatic feed ingredients and products market is experiencing growth, with the fishes segment holding a significant market share. This segment includes salmon, catfish, tilapia, diadromous fishes, and other types. However, the farming of common fish varieties is projected to decline during the forecast period due to decreasing consumption rates, particularly in urban areas. Instead, there is a rising preference for crustaceans like shrimp. Despite this, common fish species remain popular in rural areas due to their low cost and ease of cultivation. Three types of feeds are used in fishponds: natural feeds, supplementary feeds, and complete feeds. Natural feeds are those found in ponds, while supplementary feeds are regularly given to fish and include soybean, corn, rice, and additives. Complete feeds are a blend of selected ingredients that provide all necessary nutrients for fish growth. Vendors like Cargill offer aquatic feeds for various aquaculture species, such as salmon in Norway, Chile, Scotland, and North America, and tilapia in China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. These offerings will drive the fishes segment and the market in focus during the forecast period.
