# India Aquaculture Feed Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Species, Feed Form & Distribution Channel, 2026–2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The India Aquaculture Feed Market operates through feed manufacturers, regional distributors, aqua-input retailers and technical advisory networks serving freshwater and coastal farms. India produced **19.77 million metric tonnes of fish in FY2024-25**, including 15.16 million metric tonnes from inland sources. This production base creates recurring demand for grow-out, nursery and functional feeds that improve survival, growth rates and farm economics. Andhra Pradesh is the principal commercial hub because of its dense shrimp-farming ecosystem, feed mills, hatcheries, laboratories, processors and export infrastructure. MPEDA reported that the state previously contributed more than **68% of national shrimp production**, supported by over 52,000 farms across approximately 75,000 hectares. This concentration lowers distribution costs and enables manufacturers to combine feed sales with farm advisory services. Policy support is formalizing production and expanding addressable feed demand. The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana carried an investment outlay of **INR 20,050 crore for 2020-21 to 2024-25**, while coastal farms must obtain registrations that remain valid for five years. These mechanisms influence feed traceability, farm eligibility, biosecurity compliance and access to institutional finance. Export exposure remains a defining commercial variable. India exported **716,004 metric tonnes of frozen shrimp worth USD 4,881 million in 2023-24**, representing 66.12% of marine export earnings. Export certification, residue compliance and buyer specifications therefore transmit directly into demand for consistent formulations, functional additives and traceable feed inputs, while also exposing manufacturers to global shrimp-price cycles. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 3,250 million (2025) * Dominant Region: South India * Dominant Segment: Marine Shrimp Feed, with Extruded Floating Pellets fastest growing * Total Number of Players: 45 ## Future Outlook The India Aquaculture Feed Market is projected to expand from USD 3,250 million in 2025 to USD 4,831 million by 2031.

Functional nutrition, extruded floating pellets, disease-management products and stronger farmer advisory models are expected to support growth above the projected increase in physical feed volume. **Data used:** USD 4,831 million forecast value in 2031; 6.83% forecast CAGR **So what:** Capacity investments should prioritize extrusion, functional formulations and regional distribution rather than commodity feed volume alone. #### Q: Where will the principal profit pools shift during the forecast period? **A:** Profit pools will progressively shift toward extruded freshwater feed, nursery diets, functional shrimp nutrition and integrated technical services. Shrimp feed is expected to remain the largest premium category, but its revenue share is projected to decline from 41.0% in 2025 to approximately 38.0% by 2031 as carp, pangasius and tilapia feed grow faster. The blended selling price is expected to increase from USD 478 to USD 546 per metric tonne, indicating that formulation quality, feed-conversion performance and health benefits will become more important sources of margin expansion. **Data used:** Shrimp feed revenue share of 41.0% in 2025; blended ASP of USD 546 per metric tonne in 2031 **So what:** Manufacturers should allocate R&D and sales resources toward species-specific performance products with measurable farm-level returns. #### Q: What is the most material operating risk for aquaculture-feed companies? **A:** The most material operating risk is the interaction between ingredient-cost volatility and weak farm economics. Feed accounts for approximately 50-60% of shrimp-farming operating cost, limiting the ability of manufacturers to pass through higher fishmeal, soybean meal, maize and energy expenses. Disease compounds the pressure by reducing survival and interrupting stocking cycles. EHP alone is associated with estimated annual losses of INR 4,000 crore in Indian shrimp farming. Manufacturers must therefore balance procurement discipline with formulations that improve digestibility, survival and feed-conversion performance. **Data used:** Feed cost share of 50-60%; EHP-related annual loss of INR 4,000 crore **So what:** Resilient sourcing and evidence-backed farm performance are more defensible than competing primarily through dealer discounts. #### Q: How does India compare with other major Asian aquafeed markets? **A:** India ranks second by estimated 2025 market value among the selected peer countries, behind China and ahead of Vietnam, Indonesia and Bangladesh. China's market is substantially larger at approximately USD 21,220 million, while Vietnam is estimated at USD 2,700 million. India's forecast CAGR of 6.83% exceeds China's 3.90% rate but is below Vietnam's 8.30%. India's competitive position is supported by a large inland-fisheries base, premium shrimp exports, domestic feed manufacturing and an extensive dealer and farmer-advisory ecosystem. **Data used:** India market value of USD 3,250 million in 2025; India forecast CAGR of 6.83% **So what:** India offers greater scale than most regional growth markets without the maturity constraints associated with China. #### Q: Which demand driver has the greatest influence on the market outlook? **A:** The strongest structural driver is the continued expansion and commercialization of India's aquaculture output. Total fish production reached an estimated 19.77 million metric tonnes in FY2024-25, including 15.16 million metric tonnes from inland sources. Government programmes have supported hatcheries, ponds, feed mills, biofloc systems, cages, cold chains and farmer formalization. The resulting shift from extensive feeding and farm-made mixtures toward scientifically formulated diets increases feed penetration, improves production predictability and creates recurring demand for technical support, water-stable pellets and species-specific nutrition. **Data used:** Total fish production of 19.77 million metric tonnes; inland production of 15.16 million metric tonnes **So what:** The largest whitespace lies in converting inland biomass into regular commercial-feed consumption through affordable products and advisory distribution. --- ## Table of Contents # CHAPTER 14 - Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases, Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey, delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
