The global crustaceans market size reached US$ 18.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 26.5 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2023-2032. The rising popularity of crustaceans as a nutrient-rich food among the health-conscious consumers, continual innovations in crustacean processing and packaging, and easy product availability across online and offline organized retail channels represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Crustaceans, a diverse group of arthropods belonging to the subphylum Crustacea, are primarily aquatic animals and are found in terrestrial environments as well. Crustaceans typically possess an exoskeleton made of chitin, providing support and protection, and have joint appendages for functions like locomotion and feeding. In addition to this, they possess gills for extracting oxygen from water and two pairs of antennae on their heads for sensing their environment. Their feeding strategies encompass filter feeding, scavenging, and predation, utilizing specialized appendages or mouthparts to capture prey or gather food particles from water. Crustaceans have a high economic importance since they are harvested for human consumption and are cultivated through aquaculture to meet the growing seafood demand. While several crustacean species including shrimp, crab, and lobster are considered to be global delicacies, they also provide nutritional value as a source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them a beneficial addition to a balanced diet. Some of the most common crustaceans include organisms, such as crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and barnacles.
