In 2024, China remains the dominant producer in global aquaculture production of marine and partly-marine species, contributing 83.24 thousand metric tons. South Korea and Norway follow with significantly smaller shares of 4.42 and 2.95 thousand metric tons respectively. Notable growth was observed in India's production, rising by 10.55% year-on-year. Conversely, Japan saw a decline of 1.81%. Russia experienced a sharp increase of 30.44%, while other key players like Bangladesh and Mexico also showed positive growth. On the lower end, Germany, Italy, and the United States showed slight declines.
Future trends suggest continued growth in countries like India and Russia due to increased investment and technological advancements. Meanwhile, developed countries with mature markets may see steadier or slightly declining production rates. As sustainability becomes more critical, innovations in eco-friendly and efficient aquaculture practices will be key drivers, potentially shifting shares among leading and emerging producers.
