Fish meal is made primarily from the bones and organ meat leftover from fish. It is created by drying or trimming of fish. Fish meal is generally obtained in the form of powder or cake. The fishmeal market has grown extensively in recent years and is projected to continue growing in the forecast period. Fishmeal offers many benefits for aquatic animals, such as enhanced disease immunity, improved survival & development, and reduced incidences of deformities. Demand for fishmeal is experiencing an exponential increase based on its heavy use in aquaculture. Fishmeal is one of the fastest-growing segments of the seafood industry, as well as the fishery industry across the globe. According to Renub Research Global Fishmeal Market is expected to reach US$ 10.65 Billion by the end of the year 2026.

The main factors contributing to the growth of the global fishmeal market are increasing demand for naturally derived protein additives in animal feed, expansion of the feed industry, extensive development of salmon aquaculture, and increased consumption of fish as a significant food in various regions of the world.

Besides, the significant growth of the aquaculture industry during the forecast period is also propelling the fishmeal industry. Around the world, the number of aquacultures is increasing, and hence the demand for fishmeal is growing. Peru, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, Chile, Japan, Denmark, India, Norway, Ecuador, Morocco, Russia, Iceland, and Malaysia are the major countries that have stimulated the demand for fish meals.

Salmon & trout farmers have expanded their production of salmon to meet the growing demand of customers worldwide as it is a commonly used source of fishmeal. Also, the fish and seafood industry were at a dynamic stage of evolution, where large market players and government fisheries join hands with small-scale inter- and intra-regional fishing farms, resulting in a quality demand loop on the aquatic feed additive market. Furthermore, rising demand for different health supplements for both infants and adult consumers will catalyze demand for human-made edible fishmeal development and incorporate omega-3 supplements.
