Fishmeal and Fish Oil Market Set for Robust Growth, Projected to Reach USD 16.9 Billion by 2035 Amid Surging Demand for Sustainable Protein

The global fishmeal and fish oil market is poised for significant expansion, with a new market forecast revealing a projected surge from USD 8.2 billion in 2025 to USD 16.9 billion by 2035, demonstrating a compelling Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. This robust growth is primarily fueled by the escalating worldwide demand for sustainable protein sources, particularly within the burgeoning aquaculture sector and the health-conscious industry.

Fishmeal, renowned for its high digestibility and balanced amino acid profile, remains an indispensable component in high-performance animal nutrition. Concurrently, the increasing consumer awareness of health benefits is driving a growing demand for fish oil as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. The market currently commands an estimated 100% share within the marine-derived animal nutrition segment, underscoring its critical role. Within aquaculture feed ingredients, it holds approximately 35% of the market, contributes around 14% to the global omega-3 supplement market, and nearly 5% to the overall animal feed additives market.

Market Dynamics and Key Segments

The market's upward trajectory is supported by continuous advancements in processing technologies, such as wet pressing and dry rendering, which enhance product quality and consistency. A strong emphasis on sustainable sourcing from marine species and fishery by-products is also shaping the industry, aiming to mitigate environmental impact. However, challenges persist, including fluctuating raw material supply due to overfishing and regulatory restrictions, leading to price volatility. Competition from plant-based protein alternatives also presents a notable constraint in certain regions.

By source, marine fish are projected to lead, capturing 38.5% of the market share by 2025. Species like anchovy, sardine, and mackerel are key contributors, valued for their high protein and omega-3 content, making them ideal for aquafeed and dietary applications. In terms of application, aquaculture and aquatic feeds are set to dominate with a 34.8% market share in 2025, driven by the rising need for nutrient-dense feed in commercial fish and shrimp farming, crucial for boosting aquatic growth and feed efficiency.

Regional Growth and Competitive Landscape

A detailed regional analysis highlights East Asia as a key growth region, with Japan emerging as the fastest-growing market, projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2035. Japan's growth is underpinned by advanced aquaculture practices and feed innovations that prioritize sustainability and clean-label principles, often incorporating automation and blended plant-based alternatives into marine protein feeds. This positions Japan ahead of the global average growth rate, showcasing its proactive approach to feed system evolution.

The USA is also expected to grow steadily at a 5.7% CAGR, driven by innovation in specialty feed formulations and diversification in pet food. The UK follows with a 5% CAGR, influenced by regulatory realignment and increasing use of marine lipids in performance feeds. Germany is projected to grow at 5.2%, focusing on organic livestock feed and circular aquafeed models, while France anticipates a 5.5% CAGR, benefiting from EU sustainability mandates and demand for premium organic feed products. These leading OECD nations are advancing at rates between 0.85x and 1.05x the global average, demonstrating a strong commitment to regulatory compliance and supply innovation.

The market is moderately consolidated, with prominent players driving global production and supply. Scoular Company emphasizes sustainable sourcing and feed traceability, while Colpex International SAC specializes in premium-grade fishmeal from pelagic species. Corpesca S.A. and Corporacion Pesquera Inca S.A.C. are recognized for their vertically integrated production processes ensuring quality and scalability. Croda International PLC, with its strong biotechnology focus, delivers omega-rich feed supplements and marine-derived functional ingredients, showcasing diverse competitive strategies across the market.
