Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market is estimated to reach USD 97.64 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 7.93%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis.The Global Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market was valued at USD 45.52 billion in 2024, and it is expected to rise at a 7.93% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. The growing demand for seafood worldwide is fueling the aquaculture feed extrusion market as consumers look for diets higher in protein, which makes aquaculture essential for food security. Growth and feed efficiency are improved by the manufacture of stable, digestible, and nutritionally balanced feeds made possible by technological developments in extrusion. Furthermore, the increasing need for personalized and functional feeds to enhance the health of fish and shrimp is driving the global market expansion and uptake of extrusion technology.
By Species Insights
Based on Species insights, Carp dominated the Global Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market in 2024 due to its vast farming and strong demand as a major protein source worldwide. Its flexibility to different water conditions and cost-effective production make it a popular species among fish producers. Extruded feeds are increasingly employed in carp farming as they improve digestibility, nutrient retention, and buoyancy, resulting in faster growth rates and more effective feed usage. Furthermore, carp's appeal in both domestic and commercial markets continues to promote large-scale farming, consolidating its dominant position and ensuring consistent demand for extruded feed in the aquaculture sector.
By Feed Type Insights
Pellets led the aquaculture feed extrusion market in 2024 and has significant share of revenue due to their superior stability, buoyancy, and nutrient delivery, making them very effective across a wide range of aquatic species. Their homogeneous size, shape, and content ensure regular feeding, reduce waste, and increase feed conversion efficiency, making them a popular choice among fish and shrimp producers. Pellets can also be tailored to fit the individual dietary needs, life phases, and feeding habits of various species, hence enhancing growth performance and farm output. Pellets adaptability, simplicity of handling, and consistent nutrient retention continue to promote wider acceptance and cementing their position.
By Distribution Channel Insights
In 2024, offline channels dominated the Global Aquaculture Feed Extrusion Market, bolstered by established networks of specialized feeders, regional distributors, and aquaculture farms. These channels benefit from strong farmer relationships, consistent supply inventories, and tailored support, which includes diet formulation advice and flexible payment choices. They are especially effective in areas with established aquaculture, where farmers seek direct connection, technical guidance, and bespoke solutions for their operations. Offline channels continue to be preferred over alternative distribution systems due to the trust and convenience they provide, maintaining regular feed availability and promoting long-term loyalty among aquaculture farmers, consequently increasing market share.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific dominated the aquaculture feed extrusion market in 2024 due to its dominance in worldwide aquaculture production. The region has a significant concentration of fish and shrimp farms, which is driven by strong domestic demand for protein-rich seafood and rising exports. Government policies, incentives, and investments in modern aquaculture infrastructure encourage widespread adoption of innovative feed methods, such as extrusion. Furthermore, the availability of raw materials such as plant-based proteins and fishmeal, together with increasing knowledge of sustainable farming practices, enhances the region's market position. Consumer preference for high-quality, traceable seafood drives demand for extruded feeds, maintaining Asia Pacific's leadership.
Market Competitive Landscape
Major competitors in the fiercely competitive aquaculture feed extrusion market are concentrating on capacity expansions, strategic alliances, and technical innovation to improve their market positions. To create sustainable and useful feeds for salmon and shrimp, companies such as Cargill are investing in research and development facilities and precision extrusion technologies. In order to increase its competitiveness in high-value aquaculture exports, Nisshin Seifun Group is increasing domestic output through acquisitions. To meet the needs of various species and geographical areas, other major businesses, such as Skretting, Biomar, and ADM, place an emphasis on product diversification, sophisticated feed formulations, and international distribution networks.
Recent Developments:
In 2025, Cargill has expanded its aquafeed research and development center in Texas, incorporating advanced extrusion technologies to enhance sustainable feed solutions for shrimp and salmon farming. This initiative reinforces the U.S. position in the production of functional and high-quality aquafeeds.
In May 2025, Nisshin Seifun Group has purchased a majority share in a Japanese aquafeed extrusion equipment company to expand domestic production and strengthen Japan’s competitiveness in high-value aquaculture exports.
