Global Crustaceans Market is valued at approximately USD 16.4 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.50% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Crustaceans are animals that typically have an exoskeleton?a hard exterior?and two pairs of antennae. Many different varieties of crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, shrimp (or prawns), and crayfish, are consumed by people all over the world. Other crustaceans include pill bugs, water fleas, and barnacles. These are considered low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids. The increasing consumption of seafood and growing demand for crustaceans among consumers as well as rising preference for ready-to-eat food products are key factors driving the market growth.

The increasing consumption of seafood is contributing to the growth of the Global Crustaceans Market. For instance, according to Statista – in 2021, the global seafood market was valued at USD 253 billion, and the market is projected to grow to USD 336 billion by 2025. Moreover, as per Statista – as of 2022, revenue in the global Ready-to-Eat Meals segment is estimated at USD 0.51 trillion, and the market is projected to grow annually by 6.39% (CAGR 2022-2027) to reach USD 0.70 trillion by 2027. Also, rising growth of contract farming and growing popularity of frozen and canned crustaceans would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with Crustaceans and supply-demand gap due to high demand stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Crustaceans Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the rising consumption of seafood and growing popularity of ready-to-eat and frozen food products in the region. Whereas Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising investment in shrimp farming and increasing penetration of leading market players in the region.
