Drivers and Restraints

Rising World Aquaculture Production to Bolster Industry Progress

Rising per-capita fish consumption is expected to boost world aquaculture production. The entry of several fertilizer companies is expected to boost the production of aquaculture fertilizers. For example, as per the FAO report in 2020, China emerged as a huge producer of aquaculture fertilizer, producing nearly 47,559 thousand tonnes of fish. India produced 7,066 thousand tonnes of fish, and Indonesia produced 5,427 thousand tonnes of fish. Furthermore, supportive government regulations for the production of fertilizers are expected to boost industry growth. For example, the Chinese government informed local governments to maintain steady fertilizer prices, ensuring a stable supply during the spring season. These factors may drive the aquaculture fertilizer market growth.

However, fluctuating fertilizer prices and a lack of knowledge regarding the fertilizer’s benefits are expected to hinder the market progress.
