Middle East and Africa Fish Feed Market Size
The Middle East and Africa fish feed market size was valued at USD 15.56 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 16.75 billion in 2026 to reach USD 30.23 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.66% from 2026 to 2034.
Fish Feed is an important part of modern commercial aquaculture, providing the balanced nutrition needed by farmed fish. The feeds, in the form of pellets or granules, provide the nutrition in a concentrated and a stable form, enabling the fish to feed efficiently and grow at their full potential.
Traditionally two of th,e most important ingredients have been fish oil and fishmeal. The development of dry pelleted fish feeds to date has two main themes. One theme is improving digestibility and refining the balance of nutrients to meet the needs of the different species of fish more precisely at different periods of development. The other type is to improve the sustainability of the ingredients used. This is being attained mainly by identifying additional sustainable sources of ingredients, in particular, to reduce the need for fish oil and fishmeal. Improving the efficiency of feeding also assists sustainability.
The driving factors of the Middle East and Africa fish feed market are population growth, rising income, and rapid urbanization, which are facilitated by the strong expansion of fish production and more efficient distribution channels. The yield which is obtained from the wild catch cannot be increased sustainably, therefore, the opinion of observers such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, aquaculture must fill the gap.
