Increasing consumer awareness regarding health and rising occurrence of diseases such as diabetes, blood pressure, heart problems and obesity among the population is driving consumer attention towards the consumption of protein-rich diet, thus promoting the growth of the market. The increasing awareness regarding the importance of omega-3 in daily diet is expected to foster market trends.
 

Increasing demand for food dishes made from raw fish such as sushi are likely to further raise product demand. Improved dietary benefits such as improved feed palatability, nutrient intake, and improved digestion and absorption of addition of fish meal to animal nutrition are likely to aid in industry share.
 

The remarkable properties of aquafeed such as enhancing protein content, uniform distribution of components and healthy growth of aqua cultural species are expected to escalate product demand. Besides, aquafeed reduce the probability of infections in various species and make the food dishes more edible propelling growth of the aquafeed market. Increasing spread of food borne diseases caused due to consumption of contaminated seafood is one of the primary reasons for the high rate of adoption of aquafeed among fishery owners.
 

However, fluctuations in anchoveta catches owing to El Nino phenomenon owing to the occurrence of El Nino phenomenon and other environmental changes may have a slightly negative impact on the aquaculture industry. Moreover, the implementation of stringent rules imposing restrictions on fishing activities are expected to decline the demand of the market to some extent. Fluctuations in fish meal prices may further impact the market size.

The aquaculture additives market is segmented by product into amino acids, vitamins, antibiotics, feed acidifiers and others. Amino acids segment held a dominant share in the market in 2019 with a market value of USD 355 million and is expected to grow at over 5.3% CAGR over the review period.
 

This high market share of amino acids can be attributed to its high level of compatibility with different fish species and the advantages such as high protein content and improved immune system against different types of infections and water-borne diseases offered by amino acid based aquaculture additives.
 

Besides, few amino acid additives such as leucine and lysine improve outer body strength and aids in healthy flesh growth in fishes, raising the product demand. The demand for amino acid proteins from aquatic species including fish and prawns is expected to rise owing to their inability to break down proteins into amino acids such as threonine, tryptophan, methionine, lysine, valine, phenylalanine and arginine.
 

Plant-based sources of amino acids in aquafeed such as soy and pea are likely to gain traction in the coming years owing to their high nutrition content and ease of digestion as compared to their animal-based counterparts.

The aquafeed market by end-use is segregated into crustaceans, molluscs, carps, salmon, catfish, tilapia and others. The use of aquafeed for carps is increasing since the past few years, This is mainly ascribed by the eurythermic nature of carps which enables them to tolerate a wide range of temperatures from 0.5-38 degrees Celsius and facilitates its breeding in a number of water bodies including stagnant water ponds, irrigation reservoirs, cages, tanks and running water ponds and recirculatory systems, among others.
 

Moreover, the high protein, low fat and high omega-3 fatty acids is expected to augment market statistics. Carps have an excellent adaptability to a diverse range of environmental conditions, which facilitates its breeding in different regions across the world. The carps segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% over the assessment period.
 

Rising demand for processed food coupled with increased cultivation of different aquatic species to foster growth of aquaculture additives market in Europe

Aquaculture additives market in Europe is expected to witness an upsurge owing to an increase in the breeding of different species of aquatic species including rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, seabass and sea breams, among others. The increased aquatic farming in countries such as Norway, Greece, Scotland and Spain are expected to boost the market trends.
 

Changing consumer preferences towards the consumption of processed food and shifting dietary patterns in the region is expected to propel the aquafeed market demand. Increasing efforts by the European Union to promote the growth of aquatic farming in the region such as passing the regulation for permitting the use of proteins derived from insects with aquafeed may drive the growth of the market in the region. The Aquaculture Additives Market in Europe is expected to reach USD 285 million by 2026 growing at a CAGR of 4.8%.
