The global demand for Natural Protein Fish Meal Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
Natural protein fish meal is used in animal feeds because it is high in protein concentration and a good source of calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals. The meal's high protein content and excellent amino acid balance for aquatic animals make it particularly well-liked in aquaculture feeds. Menhaden, herring, anchovies, and sardines are just a few examples of the small, pelagic, oceanic fish used to make natural protein fish meal. The oil and water are pushed out after the little fish have been crushed. The residual solids are boiled and ground into food for consumption of animals as well as humans.
Market Dynamics
The natural protein fish meal market is being driven by the developing aquaculture industry as well as the rising demand for high-quality seafood products. The rise in the demand for naturally sourced protein additions in animal feed is expected to spur growth in the industry. The natural protein fish meal market is further anticipated to grow due to other reasons such as rising fish consumption, improved consumer awareness of fish meal's advantages, expanding aquaculture, and rising use of fish meal as fertilizer. Since the natural protein fish meal is a strong source of organic nitrogen and encourages faster plant growth, fertilizer is another key use for the product that will help the market grow. Moreover, the industry's expansion is aided by the expanding demand for protein supplements in animal feed. Finally, the growing environmental concerns about the detrimental effects of chemical-based feed additives on aquatic ecology also fuel the quest for natural alternatives.
