The Global Protein Hydrolysates In Aquaculture Feed Market was valued at USD 312.5 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% to reach USD 800.4 million by 2034.
The ingredients are produced through controlled enzymatic or chemical breakdown of protein-rich marine and terrestrial sources into smaller, highly digestible peptides and amino acids. Their use enhances nutrient absorption, boosts growth performance, and strengthens disease resistance in farmed aquatic species, making them essential for modern, sustainable aquaculture systems. Market expansion is strongly influenced by growing emphasis on responsible farming practices, supported by regulatory frameworks that encourage circular resource use. North America is emerging as the fastest-growing region as policies encourage transforming fishery waste into high-value hydrolysates, reducing environmental impact, and supporting compliance with sustainability standards. Rising demand for eco-friendly feed inputs and the shift toward natural, high-performance additives are driving increased adoption. The global aquaculture sector’s heightened focus on health, immunity, and efficient feed utilization further accelerates the need for bioactive protein hydrolysates.
The powder-based hydrolysates generated USD 204.2 million in 2024. The powdered form maintains stability and nutritional integrity over long storage periods and is easier to transport due to its concentrated nature. Feed manufacturers prefer powder formulations because they integrate smoothly into advanced mixing operations, supporting consistent quality control and enabling steady market growth across regions.
The enzymatic hydrolysis accounted for a 69.9% share in 2024. This method produces highly functional hydrolysates with controlled peptide profiles and superior digestibility and bioavailability. The process preserves key bioactive components and allows the creation of targeted peptide fractions that support optimal health and performance in aquaculture species.
North America Protein Hydrolysates in Aquaculture Feed Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10% from 2025 to 2034. Rising awareness of sustainable aquaculture practices and the increasing preference for natural, biodegradable feed ingredients are contributing to strong demand. Regional producers and feed manufacturers are prioritizing environmentally responsible inputs that enhance feed quality while lowering ecological impact.
Key companies in the Protein Hydrolysates in Aquaculture Feed Market include Scanbio, Symrise, Kemin Industries, Copalis, SAMPI, Alfa Laval AB, Hofseth Biocare, Bio-Marine Ingredients Ireland Ltd, Sopropêche, and Janatha Fish Meal. Companies in the protein hydrolysates in aquaculture feed market enhance their competitiveness through investments in advanced enzymatic processing, expansion of production capacity, and optimization of raw material utilization. Many emphasize sustainable sourcing by converting fishery by-products into high-value hydrolysates, aligning with circular economy goals. Strategic collaborations with aquaculture producers help tailor hydrolysate profiles for specific species and life stages, improving performance outcomes. Firms adopt strict quality certification systems to meet global regulatory expectations and build customer confidence. Product diversification aimed at functional, nutrient-dense peptide solutions strengthens their presence across premium feed categories.
