India represents one of the leading aquaculture markets across the globe on account of the rich biodiversity of aquatic species. Consequently, there is a high demand for aquafeed in the country to meet the growing need of aquaculture farmers and the expanding export businesses.

With increasing disposable incomes, growing health consciousness and improving cold chain facilities, seafood sales have expanded from local wet markets to organized retail channels, such as supermarkets. This represents one of the key factors fueling the growth of the aquafeed market in India. Moreover, the growing trend of natural and organic feeds has prompted manufacturers to incorporate high-quality raw materials that offer functional advantages and lower the usage of synthetic components. They are also enhancing the stability of feed pellets, reducing fine proportion, and improving pellets density and extension. Another major factor driving the industry growth is t significant shift from homemade feed to commercially available product variants. Along with enhancing the bioavailability of various nutrients, the commercial feed also helps in reducing environmental pollution and increasing profit margins. Furthermore, the Government of India is offering various subsidies for fish and shrimp farmers, which in turn is stimulating the growth of the aquafeed industry.
