Additionally, the **global increase in fishmeal prices—rising about 14% year-on-year in 2023 t** has elevated feed production costs and affected profit margins for producers.
Disease risks alsremain a concern, with White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) reported thave impacted around 9% of shrimp farms, periodically disrupting production cycles and feed demand stability. Furthermore, small and medium shrimp farmers face limited access tcredit and inconsistent enforcement of feed quality standards, which restricts the adoption of premium feed products.
Market Segmentation
The grower feed segment dominates the market, accounting for **% of total shrimp feed demand in 2024, as farms prioritize rapid biomass accumulation during mid-production stages.
In terms of feed type, pelletized feed represents **% of market demand, owing tits improved durability, nutrient retention, and feeding efficiency. High-protein feed formulations containing more than **% protein are widely used in intensive shrimp farming systems where maximizing growth rates and survival is critical.
Commercial-scale farms account for around **% of total feed consumption, reflecting the sector’s ongoing transition toward export-oriented, high-density aquaculture operations.
Price & Trade
Shrimp feed prices in Peru have shown moderate upward pressure. The average price of grower feed reached US$ 1,720 per MT in 2024, representing a 6% year-on-year increase, primarily driven by higher raw material costs such as fishmeal and soybean meal.
Peru imported around 25,000 MT of shrimp feed in 2024, mainly from Ecuador and Chile, which supply specialized feed products and supplement domestic production capacity. Meanwhile, Peru exported 8,500 MT of aquafeed in 2023, valued at US$ 14.7 million. Regional trade has been supported by Pacific Alliance tariff benefits, facilitating feed product movement within Latin America.
Competitive Landscape
The Peruvian shrimp feed market is moderately consolidated. Vitaprleads the market with an estimated **% share, leveraging its strong distribution network and localized product development. Skretting and Cargill each account for **% of the market, supported by advanced feed technologies and international aquaculture expertise.
Other notable participants include BioMar, Nutreco, and Evonik, which are expanding their presence through specialized nutritional additives and sustainable feed innovations. Product innovations such as OptiShrimp formulations and algae-based protein feed ingredients are gaining traction as producers seek improved sustainability and feed efficiency.
Outlook
The Peru shrimp feed market is expected tgrow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of **% between 2024 and 2032, reaching over US$ ** million by 2032. Future growth will be supported by continued expansion of shrimp farming, adoption of precision nutrition, and improvements in feed traceability and sustainability standards.
Investments in logistics infrastructure, sustainable ingredient sourcing, and advanced feed technologies will further strengthen the sector. With its strategic Pacific coastline, favorable aquaculture conditions, and supportive trade policies, Peru is positioned tbecome an increasingly significant aquafeed market within Latin America.
