Aquafeed refers to the food specifically prepared for aquatic animals to fulfill their nutritional requirements. Japan is one of the largest mollusk producers which requires an enormous quantity of high-quality aquafeed and thus serving as a major growth driver of the aquafeed industry in the country.

The increasing seafood consumption in Japan coupled with the rising consumer awareness about the seafood health benefits, is escalating the demand for aquafeed in the region. In fact, the government's ongoing attempts to boost aquaculture output are further accelerating the aquafeed industry. For instance, Japan government launched a ‘Fast Fish’ campaign to encourage further modernization of country’s fishing sector and increase the production of certified sustainable seafood. In addition to this, modern feed management techniques in Japan are also becoming responsible for high consumption of feed in the various farming sectors. Moreover, an increase in fish mass production, rising intensive farming, advancements in the stocking and feeding densities, feeding management practices are some of the other factors that have proliferated the market growth in the country.
