Revenue Expansion and Long-Term Market Potential
The Global Aquafeed Market was valued at USD 71.09 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 130.69 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 7% during 2026–2034. The market is being supported by the expansion of aquaculture, rising fish consumption, increasing commercial fish farming, and growing adoption of formulated feeds across aquatic species.
The emergence of new aquaculture species and increasing dependence on commercially manufactured compound feeds are creating additional revenue opportunities for aquafeed manufacturers. Growth in fish consumption is particularly significant across Asia Pacific and Latin America, where changing dietary preferences, urbanization, population growth, and economic development are increasing seafood demand.

Aquaculture Expansion and Feed Industry Dynamics
Aquafeed refers to formulated feed products designed to provide aquatic animals with the nutrients required for growth, health, and production. The market serves different aquaculture categories, including fish, mollusks, and crustaceans, while utilizing ingredients such as soybean, corn, fish meal, fish oil, and additives.
The expansion of fish farming is a major factor supporting aquafeed demand. The introduction of new species, including meager, amberjack, and wreckfish, is creating additional demand for commercially manufactured compound feeds. At the same time, alternative feed ingredients are gaining attention as producers explore replacements for conventional fish meal and fish oil.
Soybean meal has become an important protein source in aquafeed formulations. The report highlights the use of soybean-based ingredients as alternatives to portions of fish meal, reflecting the industry’s interest in plant-based feed materials. Commercial feed demand is also expected to increase for catfish and other carnivorous fish species.
The growing use of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) and aquaponics to increase fish production is another factor generating demand for specialized aquafeed products.
