    Global Tilapia Market Overview

     

    The Global Tilapia Market is projected to reach approximately USD 13.05 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.47% from 2024 to 2030, according to Renub Research. In 2023, the market value was USD 10.28 billion.

     

    Tilapia is a mild-flavored white fish widely favored for its affordability and ease of preparation, making it a popular choice globally. It is cultivated in over 120 countries due to its adaptability to crowded or low-quality water environments. Originally from Northeast Africa, tilapia is particularly prominent in the Nile River region. Known for its nutritional benefits, tilapia is high in protein and low in fat, making it a healthy alternative to processed meats.

     

    The U.S. FDA recommends tilapia as a safe fish choice for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children over two years due to its low levels of mercury and pollutants.

     

    Growth Opportunities in the Global Tilapia Market

     

    Aquaculture Expansion

    In 2022, the FAO reported a 2-4% increase in global tilapia production, driven by the consistent supply and growing popularity of tilapia aquaculture. According to the Global Seafood Alliance, global finfish production, including tilapia, is expected to reach 39.6 million metric tons in 2023, with a projected rise to 40.4 million metric tons by 2024.

     

    Technological Advancements

      Technological advancements, like a shift towards circular bio-economy practices, have transformed tilapia farming over the last decade. This includes multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), partitioned aquaculture systems (PAS), and bio-floc technology (BFT), among others, contributing to more sustainable and efficient farming.

     

    Impact of Trade Agreements

    Regional trade agreements (RTAs), including the CPTPP, RCEP, and USMCA, play a significant role in improving market access for aquaculture products. These agreements provide preferential rights that promote international trade in tilapia.

     

    Government Initiatives

    Governments worldwide recognize tilapia's role in food security and economic development, prioritizing its production through aquaculture initiatives. India’s Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) aims to increase tilapia production by 40% by 2024-25. Similarly, Indonesia has launched initiatives to support sustainable fisheries, including tilapia farming.

     

    United States Tilapia Market

    The United States holds a prominent position in the global tilapia market, catering to budget-conscious consumers seeking affordable and versatile meal options. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that the U.S. imported 187 million pounds of frozen tilapia fillets during the first 11 months of 2023, representing a 13% increase compared to the same period for frozen basa. Additionally, in January 2024, NOAA indicated that U.S. tilapia imports for the first half of 2023 totaled 86,500 tons, valued at USD 326 million, reflecting a 7% decrease in volume and a 15% decline in value from the previous year. The U.S. tilapia industry is bolstered by favorable trade policies and consumer preferences for sustainable and health-conscious food choices.
