According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the worldwide Aquafeed Enzymes market is valued at USD 483.0 million in 2024 and it is anticipated to reach USD 804.5 million by 2034. Over the next decade, global Aquafeed Enzymes demand is likely to increase at a CAGR of 5.2%.
There’s an expanding potential of boosting aquafeed’s nutritional value through research and innovation. To develop breakthrough enzyme-based solutions that can boost feed efficiency, minimize waste, and support sustainable aquaculture approaches, companies have invested money on research and development.
- Cargill unveiled a new innovative aquafeed brand named AquaPro, while BioMar established a research collaboration with the University of Edinburgh. Skretting also confirmed the opening of a new R&D center in Norway.
Manufacturers are constantly innovating new enzyme blends to improve aquafeeds’ nutritional composition and digestibility. Enzymes such as lipases, cellulases, amylases, and proteases, for instance, are utilized to enhance feed component breakdown and increase the accessibility of nutrients for aquatic life.
- Enzymes like phytase improve nutrient availability in plant-based feeds, while proteases enhance protein digestion in fish feed.
The industry is expected to be stimulated by the increased demand for aquafeed enzymes in developing countries, where the aquaculture industry is expanding substantially.
Understanding the Aquafeed Enzymes Market
The aquafeed enzymes market plays a crucial role in the aquaculture industry by enhancing the nutritional value and digestibility of feed, leading to improved growth rates and health in aquatic species. Enzymes like proteases, phytases, and carbohydrases are commonly used to break down complex nutrients in feed ingredients, making them more accessible for absorption by fish and shrimp. This not only boosts feed efficiency but also reduces environmental impact by minimizing waste output. The growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective aquaculture practices is driving the adoption of enzyme-based feed additives, as producers seek to optimize production and meet the rising global demand for seafood.
The market is influenced by various factors, including advancements in enzyme technology, increased awareness of the benefits of enzyme supplementation, and stringent regulations on the use of antibiotics in aquafeed. Companies in the industry are continuously innovating to develop enzymes that are more effective under a range of aquaculture conditions, such as varying water temperatures and salinity levels.

Prominent Drivers of the Aquafeed Enzymes Market
The aquafeed enzymes market is driven by the rapid expansion of the aquaculture industry, fueled by the increasing demand for seafood as a healthy and sustainable protein source. As fish farming grows to meet global consumption needs, there is a heightened focus on improving feed efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Enzymes in aquafeed enhance nutrient digestibility, boost growth rates, and cut waste production, making aquaculture more cost-effective and sustainable. The shift towards plant-based ingredients in aquafeed also necessitates specific enzymes to break down complex plant materials, further driving market growth.
Sustainability and environmentally friendly farming practices are also key drivers of the aquafeed enzymes market. Regulatory bodies and consumers are increasingly demanding greener production methods, encouraging the use of enzymes that reduce the need for antibiotics and other chemical additives. These enzymes help optimize feed conversion ratios, lower feed costs, and minimize the ecological footprint of aquaculture operations. Technological advancements in enzyme production and the development of tailored enzyme solutions for different species and feed compositions are further propelling the market, solidifying the role of aquafeed enzymes in sustainable aquaculture.
