3. Top Companies in Aquafeed Industry - ADM (US), Cargill, Incorporated (US) and Ridley Corporation Limited (Australia)

The aquafeed market is estimated to be valued at USD 59.0 Billion in 2024 and poised to achieve a 7.4% CAGR, reaching USD 84.2 Billion by 2029, and is experiencing transformative shifts and innovations. Manufacturers have realized that aquafeed can significantly enhance the health and growth rates of farmed fish. This has been encouraging investment by aquaculture producers in high-quality feed. Government policies and initiatives related to sustainable aquaculture techniques also fuel the development of advanced aquafeed products. For instance, in August 2024, the Norwegian government established a steering committee for an initiative to increase the rate of Norwegian-produced raw ingredients used in fish feeds. The authorities have plans to make an ambitious target for 25% of the resources to be self-sourced by 2034, when this figure currently stands at just 8%. Such a program is expected to help producers at the local level, reduce the dependency of Norway on imported feed ingredients, and sustain aquaculture methods in a responsible way over a long time.

Additionally, there are also certifications that specify the delivery of sustainable and quality feed. Examples include Global GAP and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council. Companies seeking these certifications not only invest in growth-enhancing, health-promoting fish feed products but also work to ensure their operations meet the high environmental, i.e., sustainable, and social standards set out by such organizations.
