Latin America Aquafeed Market Size
The Latin American aquafeed market was valued at USD 17.12 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 18.35 billion in 2026 and USD 32.01 Bn by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.20% from 2026 to 2034.
Aquafeed is a mixture of raw materials, additives, and other supplements, sourced from either natural or synthetic sources, and is fed to the aquaculture. Aquafeed additives include amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, antibiotics, flavors, and colorants are the most common additives blended to form fish feed. Fish production in the world is mainly from both Aquaculture and Capture. The end consumers of Aquafeed are fish, mollusks, crustaceans, etc. Tilapia is the most farmed fish, raised in 135 countries, whereas Shrimp is the largest aquaculture commodity.
The growth of the Latin American aquafeed market is majorly driven by factors such as the growth in fish consumption, an increase in mass production of fish, and limited availability of marine feed resources. Volatile economies and rising costs of raw materials are the main factors hindering the growth of the market.
