Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 100.2 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% during 2024-2032. The market is experiencing moderate growth driven by increasing consumer demand for seafood, the growing awareness of the health benefits associated with shrimp consumption, and a surge in aquaculture practices, resulting in higher shrimp production.

Shrimp Market Trends:
Rising consumer demand

Consumer demand for shrimp is on the rise globally. Shrimp is a popular seafood choice due to its mild flavor and versatility in various cuisines. As incomes increase and dietary preferences evolve, more people are including shrimp in their diets. This growing demand is particularly noticeable in emerging economies where rising disposable incomes have led to increased consumption of seafood, including shrimp. The expansion of urban populations and changing lifestyles, which favor convenient and protein-rich foods like shrimp, further fuel this demand. As a result, the shrimp market is benefiting from the increasing appetite for this delectable seafood.

Growing aquaculture industry

Aquaculture has become a driving force behind the growth of the shrimp market. Shrimp farming, in particular, has seen significant expansion to meet the escalating demand. This growth is attributed to the development of advanced aquaculture techniques and technologies that enhance shrimp production efficiency. Controlled environments, improved breeding practices, and the adoption of sustainable farming methods have led to higher yields and reduced environmental impact. Shrimp farming is also attractive due to its shorter production cycle compared to wild-caught shrimp, enabling faster response to market demand fluctuations. Consequently, aquaculture's role as a major source of shrimp has propelled the industry's growth and facilitated a consistent supply of shrimp products to meet global consumption needs.

Increasing health awareness among the masses

Shrimp's perceived health benefits and nutritional value are significant drivers of market growth. Shrimp is a low-calorie, high-protein seafood option that is rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Consumers are increasingly health-conscious, seeking out nutritious and protein-packed foods. Shrimp aligns with these preferences, making it a popular choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, shrimp is often considered a healthier alternative to red meat due to its lower saturated fat content. As health and wellness trends continue to influence food choices, the positive nutritional profile of shrimp positions it as a favored option in the global seafood market, contributing to its sustained growth and demand.

Rising global population and income levels

Demographic factors play a crucial role in driving the shrimp market. The world's growing population, coupled with increasing disposable incomes, has translated into higher seafood consumption, including shrimp. As economies continue to grow, more consumers have the financial means to include seafood, a relatively premium protein source, in their diets. This trend is particularly evident in emerging markets, where urbanization and lifestyle changes have led to greater demand for convenient and value-added shrimp products. The combination of a larger consumer base and higher purchasing power has resulted in sustained market growth and opportunities for shrimp producers and suppliers to cater to a diverse and expanding customer base.
