Precision Aquaculture Market Report 2026

The precision aquaculture market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.6 billion in 2025 to $0.67 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in traditional aquaculture expansion, growing need for higher fish production efficiency, increased adoption of basic water quality monitoring devices, rising awareness of disease prevention in aquaculture, early use of semi-automated feeding systems.

The precision aquaculture market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.08 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of AI-based fish behavior analytics, rising demand for high-efficiency ras systems, growth in autonomous underwater monitoring solutions, increasing integration of cloud-enabled aquaculture management tools, expansion of data-driven feed optimization technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of real-time aquaculture monitoring, rising use of automated feeding and health management, expansion of data-driven water quality optimization, growing preference for recirculatory aquaculture systems, enhancing predictive analysis for fish growth and yield.

The rising global demand for seafood is expected to drive the growth of the precision aquaculture market in the coming years. Seafood, which includes any edible marine life harvested from oceans, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water, is in high demand due to its health benefits, such as being rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as increased consumer interest in sustainable and nutritious food options. Precision aquaculture boosts seafood production by optimizing farming practices, ensuring sustainable resource management, and improving the health and quality of aquatic species. For example, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry reported that Australians consumed around 350,000 tons of seafood in 2021-22, averaging 13.8 kilograms per person. The value of fishery and aquaculture imports also increased by 2% to $2.19 billion, largely driven by a rise in prawn imports. As a result, the growing demand for seafood globally is fueling the expansion of the precision aquaculture market.

Companies in the precision aquaculture sector are focusing on developing innovative products, such as AI-based aquaculture cameras, to maintain a competitive edge. These AI-based aquaculture cameras are advanced imaging systems equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms specifically designed for monitoring and managing aquaculture environments. In July 2024, ReelData AI, a Canada-based software company, launched ReelVision, an AI camera system designed for aquaculture applications such as behavioral analysis, feeding rates, and fish health monitoring. ReelVision's data-driven approach enables farmers to make better decisions regarding feeding, stocking density, and health management, helping to optimize production, reduce waste, and lower environmental impact.

In July 2024, AKVA Group, a Norway-based aquaculture service provider, acquired Observe Technologies Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows AKVA Group to leverage advanced AI technologies, enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability in aquaculture while strengthening its digital services and solidifying its leadership in precision fish farming. Observe Technologies Ltd. is a UK-based company specializing in AI-driven aquaculture monitoring solutions aimed at optimizing fish farms.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported electronic components, sensors, feeding systems, and water quality monitoring devices have raised equipment costs for precision aquaculture, particularly affecting hardware segments such as cameras, autonomous vehicles, and control systems in import-reliant regions like Asia-Pacific and Latin America. These tariffs also slow technology adoption across applications including feed optimization, monitoring, and yield analysis. Nonetheless, they encourage domestic manufacturing of aquaculture technology, stimulate innovation in cost-efficient alternatives, and promote regional supply chain strengthening, creating moderate long-term benefits for market resilience.
