Understanding Fish Processing and Its Scope
Fish processing encompasses all operations from the time fish or aquatic organisms are caught or harvested until the final product reaches consumers. This includes any commercial harvesting of marine life from wild fisheries, aquaculture, or fish farming. The process ensures that fish products are safe for human consumption and that hygiene standards are strictly maintained throughout production.

How Aquaculture Growth Is Impacting the Fish Processing Market
The expansion of the aquaculture industry is anticipated to be a major factor driving fish processing market growth. Aquaculture involves breeding and harvesting fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in freshwater, saltwater, and brackish environments. It plays a crucial role in providing food, replenishing endangered species, restoring natural stocks, and rehabilitating aquatic habitats. Given the rising seafood demand alongside shrinking wild fish catches, aquaculture is expected to grow significantly, boosting the need for fish processing services.
For instance, in September 2023, the UK-based Sea Fish Industry Authority projected aquaculture production to climb to 106 million tons by 2030, marking a 22% increase or roughly 19 million tons. This anticipated growth in aquaculture is a key driver behind the expanding fish processing market.
