Rising Demand for Fish Consumption Drives Global Aqua Feed Market

The prime driver for the global aqua feed market is the rising demand for human consumption of fish. While they have always been a staple in coastal regions across the world, fish consumption has soared in the last few decades with the rising awareness about their beneficial health properties and the increasing ease of transporting fish longer distances due to steady development of the transportation sector. The global aqua feed market has become a key beneficiary of this due to the growing preference for farmed fish over captured fish.

While capturing fish has been the traditionally popular way over the world, several companies in the global aquaculture and aqua feed sector have acknowledged the risk of causing irreversible damage to marine ecosystems due to overfishing. This has led to rising use of aquaculture techniques to rear fish in captivity, which is likely to remain the major driver for the global aqua feed market. The steady growth of the aquaculture sector has also led to consistent innovation in the aqua feed market, which will also help the market post steady growth figures.
