Krill Meal Market
Description
The global krill meal market was valued at $208.4 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $416.5 million by 2035, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2024 to 2035.
Antarctic krill is the source of krill meal, a nutrient-dense protein source that is used extensively in aquaculture, animal feed, and pet food. In fish, shrimp, poultry, and pets, it has high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, and astaxanthin, which support growth, immunity, and feed efficiency. Pricing and supply are impacted by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) stringent restrictions and sustainability concerns. Demand is highest in the Asia-Pacific area because of the growing aquaculture industry, while pet and livestock nutrition is growing in North America and Europe. Major firms concentrate on innovation and sustainable sourcing to satisfy the growing demands of the market.
The krill meal market is segmented on the basis of source, application, form, and region. Depending on the source, the market is classified into Antarctic krill and North Pacific krill. By application, it is segregated into aquafeed, animal feed, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, and dietary supplements. Depending on the form, it is segregated into powder and pellets. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, Argentina, UAE, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and rest of LAMEA).
The krill meal market is expanding gradually due to increased demand from the pet food, animal feed, and aquaculture sectors. A quality feed ingredient, krill meal is made from Antarctic krill and is valued for its high protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and astaxanthin content. Especially in salmon and shrimp production, it boosts immunity, increases fish development, and increases feed efficiency. Additionally, because of its nutritional advantages, krill meal is being used by producers of livestock feed and pet food.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has imposed stringent fishing restrictions to minimize overexploitation, and sustainability concerns and regulations are important factors in market dynamics. Climate change and supply chain interruptions also affect availability and cost.
The aquaculture industries in China, India, and Indonesia are driving the market's dominance in Asia-Pacific, while the need for high-end animal nutrition is growing in North America and Europe. Major providers like Aker BioMarine concentrate on innovation and sustainable sourcing to satisfy rising demand.
The key players operating in the krill meal market have adopted product launches, business expansion, and merger & acquisition as key strategies to expand their market share, increase profitability, and remain competitive in the market. The major players operating in the global krill meal market are Qingdao Kangjing, British Aqua Feeds, UK Bait Company, GT Premium Baits, ZVS International, BEST LLC, Beyond Fishery, Florida Aqua Farms Inc., Krill Arctic Foods, and Aker BioMarine ASA.
