Seafood Processing Equipment Market Outlook - 2026

The seafood processing equipment market size was valued at $2,261.7 million in 2018 and is projected to reach $3,478.6 million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2019 to 2026. Asia-Pacific is one of the prominent regions in the market that solely accounted for approximately 65.93% of the total seafood processing equipment market share in 2018.

Fish is one of the protein foods that require vigilant handling. It is an imperative and consistently affordable dietary element worldwide. The global seafood value chain is witnessing massive consumer demand, creating a prerequisite for processors to scale up their productivity. The objective of seafood processing equipment market and conservation is to not only slow down/avoid the enzymatic, bacterial, and chemical deterioration but also maintain the fish flesh in a condition as near as possible to that of fresh fish. The phases needed to achieve this begin before the fishing expedition starts and ends upon the seafood being eaten or processed into oil, meal, or feed. Hence, the key to delivering high-quality seafood product includes detailed attention to the entire process of preparation right from catching, landing, handling to storage and transport. 

Seafood Processing Equipment Market

The growth in the aquaculture industry, owing to several factors such as improved logistics, technological developments, and increased demand for processed seafood products boosts the growth of the global seafood processing equipment market. Aquaculture is a process in which fish are raised, nourished, and harvested in a controlled environment. This results in more predictable harvests and reassures price solidity. Farmed fish production primarily includes finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and other aquatic animals. The monitored growth and clean surroundings allied with aquaculture enables to ease concerns regarding product safety and quality. In addition, with increase in number of health-conscious consumers, the demand for seafood and seafood products has witnessed exceptional progress in the recent past. Consumers demand high quality processed sea foods with negligible changes in nutritional properties. Novel processing technologies in the seafood processing equipment market are hence discovered and implemented to deliver safe, fresher-tasting, nutritive foods manufactured without the use of chemical preservatives. Furthermore, the expansion in consumption of processed seafood is propelled by a combination of multiple aspects, including improved distribution channels, reduced wastage, better utilization and growing demand associated with growing population, urbanization and rising incomes.

The filleting segment dominates the Global Seafood processing equipment market, however the gutting segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.

Moreover, rise in per capita consumption of fish along with urbanization drives the aquaculture industry, thereby, boosting the growth of the global seafood processing equipment market. Furthermore, the use of multifunctional equipment ensures high-quality goods with efficiency, deboning machinery for instance. This equipment not only debones but also eliminates skin & scale and minces fish. Hence, rise in demand for automated equipment by food processing industry to meet the growing popularity of fish and seafood specialties demanded by consumers further drives the growth of the market. In regard to the growing popularity of fish and seafood specialties, manufacturers in the seafood processing equipment industry are using enhanced equipment’s to meet demand. Fish and seafood can be further processed into various forms, namely balls, sticks, nuggets, cakes and pastes which are by-products of traditional items, such as fillets. Additionally, manufacturers are using microwave technology to temper frozen blocks of fish, to facilitate easy cutting for fish stick and portion production.

However, rise in concerns regarding the safety and quality of seafood, owing to the differences in food standards within and between countries is expected to restrain the seafood processing equipment market. In addition, manufacturers have little control over the source of raw fish and seafood, since these inputs are influenced by an extensive array of manmade and natural aspects. It includes damage to the ocean by pollutants, which has resulted into banning of products derived from those water bodies. In certain cases, the damage has been so widespread that the complete species has been depleted. In addition, overfishing has also caused some species to become less abundant. Unfortunately, environmental regulations alone cannot assure adequate supply levels, since not all environmental risks are manmade. Shifts in weather patterns can create havoc on the capability to harvest the wild catch and natural disasters can result in fish kills. Hence, the depletion in seafood population can hamper the growth of the seafood processing equipment market.
