Fishmeal & Fishoil Market Growth Outlook, Trends and Forecast 2023–2032
Global Fishmeal and Fishoil Market demonstrates steady expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 7.36 billion in 2023 according to the latest industry analysis. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% , reaching approximately USD 10.12 billion by 2032 . This growth trajectory reflects the essential role these products play in aquaculture and animal nutrition sectors, particularly as demand for high-protein feed ingredients intensifies worldwide.
Fishmeal , derived from processed whole fish or fish trimmings, serves as a crucial protein source in aquafeed, while fishoil provides essential omega-3 fatty acids. The nutritional superiority of these marine-derived ingredients continues to drive adoption across livestock, poultry, and aquaculture operations, although sustainability concerns are prompting innovation in alternative sources and circular production methods.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands the global fishmeal production landscape, accounting for over 45% of output, with Peru and Chile as dominant producers. China's massive aquaculture industry drives regional consumption, while Thailand and Vietnam emerge as significant processors. The region benefits from coastal access to raw materials and established feed manufacturing ecosystems.
Europe maintains strong demand due to stringent aquaculture feed regulations and premium seafood production. North America shows resilient growth in specialty aquaculture applications, although it faces raw material constraints. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America demonstrate accelerated adoption, supported by expanding aquaculture operations and governmental support for domestic feed production.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market thrives on aquaculture's 6% annual growth rate, with fishmeal remaining irreplaceable for larval and marine fish diets. Salmon farming alone consumes 35% of global supply, while shrimp farming accounts for 25%. Rising middle-class protein consumption in developing nations creates sustained demand, particularly in Asia where seafood forms 20% of animal protein intake.
Premiumization opportunities emerge in value-added sectors – omega-3 fortified feeds command 15-20% price premiums, while traceable, MSC-certified products gain traction in European markets. Technological advancements in byproduct utilization (processing waste into meals) present circular economy opportunities, potentially yielding 15-20% additional supply from existing catches.
Challenges & Restraints
Volatile raw material supply remains the sector's Achilles' heel – El Niño events can reduce Peruvian anchovy catches by 40%, creating global price shocks. Regulatory pressures mount as the EU's anti-IUU fishing regulations and Peru's seasonal fishing bans disrupt traditional supply chains, with compliance costs increasing production expenses by 8-12%.
Plant-based alternative pressure market share, with algal omega-3 oils capturing 5% of the nutritional lipids market. Rising concerns over marine resource depletion prompt feed formulators to reduce fishmeal inclusion rates, with salmon diets dropping from 65% to 35% fishmeal content over the past decade through substitution strategies.
