The North American Aquafeed Market is estimated at USD 1,987.8 million in 2024; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% to reach USD 2,687.9 billion by 2029. The markets within North America include the US, Canada, and Mexico. North America is a major importer of aquaculture products. The consumption of fish and seafood remains high in North America. According to the Fisheries of the United States report from 2020, commercial fishers in the US caught 8.4 billion pounds of fisheries worth USD 4.7 billion last year. Additionally, World Bank data shows that aquaculture production in North America reached 645,287 metric tons in 2022. As a result, there is a growing need for specialized aquafeed tailored to different species and life stages to support the growth of the aquafeed market in the region.
Aquafeed Market Drivers: Demand for tailor-made aquafeed
The demand for tailor-made aquafeed nutrition is gaining importance in the North American region. This has been driven by various factors, such as a rise in a shift towards sustainable aquaculture practices, which has led to a need for customized feed solutions to enhance the nutrition profile of the aquatic species along with reduction of environmental waste. Furthermore, owing to the diverse aquaculture industry in North America, species such as salmon, trout, catfish, and shrimp require specialized nutrition. Thus, tailor-made feed meets the requirements to enhance the nutritional benefits for optimum health solutions. For instance, companies such as ADM (US) focus on formulating customized feed designed to combat a wide variety of aquaculture stressors at any life stage.
Aquafeed Market Opportunities: Development of innovative products as a source of protein
According to the International Fish Meal and Fish Oil Organization (IFFO), the growing usage of fish meal and fish oil results in increased fishing pressure on wild-feed fish stocks. Thus, there is a growing need to develop alternative ingredients as a source of protein. Also, with the growing consumer preference for food that has minimal impact on the environment, many companies are investing in developing novel products. For instance, BioMar (Denmark) conducted a test to see the effect of insect meal in aquafeed and obtained promising results. Thus, insect meal would have a future as an alternative source of protein in aquaculture feed.
The fish segment in the North American aquafeed market is projected to have a dominant share.
The North American aquafeed market, particularly for fish, is anticipated to experience significant growth driven by increasing global demand for seafood, advancements in feed technology, and a shift towards more sustainable practices. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, global aquaculture production is projected to reach 114 million tons by 2030, with fish species continuing to dominate production volumes. This growth is largely driven by the rising consumption of fish due to its nutritional benefits and the expansion of aquaculture operations to meet seafood demand.
