Across the world, the rapid depletion of fish in their natural habitats is the primary factor fueling the growth of the global aquaculture market. This has led the aquaculture market to account for 50% of all fish consumed as food worldwide in 2012. The increasing awareness about the health benefits of fish consumption is also significantly contributing to the market?s growth. However, the deterioration of aquatic ecosystems and unforeseen weather changes are key factors restraining the market?s growth.

The rising adoption of poly-culture practices, wherein fish farming is alternated with crop cultivation, will open new opportunities for the market?s growth. This will also help to provide additional food and income to farmers by diversifying farm activities.

Presently, aquaculture accounts for a smaller share than capture fisheries in the global fisheries industry. Nevertheless, aquaculture is expected to surpass the capture fisheries market and become the prime source of fish food in the years to come. As per data released by the Organization of Economic Co-operation Development (OECD), capture fisheries? output is expected to grow by 5% by 2022. On the other hand, aquaculture is expected to rise by a whopping 35% by the end of 2022.

By product type, carps, crustaceans, salmon, sea bream, trout, mollusks, milkfish, sea bass, mackerel, and others are the segments of this market. Of these, the carps segment currently leads due to carps? higher resistance to unfavorable environmental conditions as compared to other aquaculture species. In the coming years, clams, mussels, and mollusks will display the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the rising awareness about the health benefits of these fishes. Mollusks will display the fastest growth rate at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2013 to 2019.
