In 2023, China led the global fish crush market with a volume of 1.48 million metric tons, followed by Vietnam at 1.22 million metric tons. South Africa, Iran, and Pakistan demonstrated moderate outputs with 0.33111, 0.13268, and 0.12375 million metric tons, respectively. Smaller contributors included Indonesia, New Zealand, and Canada, producing less than 0.065 million metric tons each. Between 2023 and 2030, the projected trends show significant year-on-year variations. By 2030, China's volume is anticipated to decline by approximately 20.9%, while Vietnam could grow by about 11.5%. South Africa and Canada are predicted to witness considerable declines, with a projected decrease of 31% for South Africa and 76% for Canada. Iran, Pakistan, Indonesia, and New Zealand are likely to exhibit stable numbers with minor fluctuations.
Trends to watch for include:
- China's reduction in fish crush output and its potential shift towards more sustainable practices.
- Vietnam's continued increase due to growing demand and expansion of aquaculture sectors.
- South Africa's and Canada's significant declines potentially pointing to environmental or regulatory pressures.
- Overall global movement towards sustainable and responsible fisheries impacting future outputs.
