Global Automatic Fish Sorting Machine Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Automatic Fish Sorting Machine market size is predicted to grow from US$ 378 million in 2025 to US$ 652 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2026 to 2032.
Automatic fish sorting machines are automated grading equipment used in aquatic product processing and fishery distribution. They are mainly used for high-speed, continuous, and standardized sorting of whole fish according to weight, length, or body shape. This equipment typically consists of a feeding and conveying system, a dynamic weighing or optical recognition unit, a grading control system, and a multi-channel unloading mechanism. It can achieve single-tail identification and accurate sorting without interrupting production, significantly reducing manual sorting costs and improving grading consistency. Automatic fish sorting machines are widely used in wild fishing, aquaculture processing plants, and cold chain pretreatment. They are one of the key pieces of equipment in large-scale aquatic product processing to improve efficiency, reduce losses, and meet the standardized packaging needs of downstream industries.2025 sales volume: 219,000 units, average price: $1685/unit. Total production capacity: 240,000 units, gross profit margin: 40%.
The core market driver for automatic fish sorting machines has shifted from simply "replacing manual labor" to "supporting standardized and data-driven production." With the increasing concentration of seafood processing enterprises and the rising requirements for specification consistency in chain supermarkets and pre-prepared food channels, precise grading by weight and length has become a prerequisite for entering mainstream channels. Meanwhile, fish sorting is gradually being integrated into factory MES and quality traceability systems. Grading data is used for production statistics, raw material pricing, and aquaculture feedback. This has transformed automatic fish sorting machines from single devices into production data nodes, enhancing their irreplaceable role in the entire processing line and supporting the continued penetration of mid-to-high-end models.
Regionally, automatic fish sorting machines have already achieved high penetration rates in high-labor-cost seafood processing regions such as Northern Europe and Japan. However, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and parts of coastal China still rely primarily on semi-automatic or manual sorting, making them highly price-sensitive in the short term. But with fluctuations in labor supply, rising compliance costs, and increased demands for consistency and delivery stability from export-oriented seafood companies, these regions are entering a phase of accelerated replacement. Future market growth will come more from the automation upgrades of existing production lines than from increased catches themselves. This determines the industry's medium-to-long-term trend of "steady growth, with price differentiation based on technology and reliability."
