The unique flavor and texture of these shrimp make them a prized ingredient in traditional and contemporary Asian cuisine. It is also used as an ingredient in processed seafood products, such as surimi-based items, seafood sauces, and seasoning products. These processed goods are found in various cuisines and convenience foods, which further boost the demand for these shrimps. Some of the factors impacting the market are increasing global demand for seafood, rising consumer awareness of the health benefits of seafood, and rising disease outbreaks in shrimp farming.
The growing demand for seafood, including shrimp, leads to an expansion of the market. As more consumers seek seafood products, the overall market size increases, providing opportunities for established and emerging market players. Higher global demand for seafood results in increased consumption of shrimp. This particularly benefits shrimp producers and suppliers, as it translates to higher sales and revenue. The market is a significant source of economic opportunities, especially in regions with a strong focus on production. The increased scrutiny on sustainable and responsible sourcing in the seafood industry leads to more shrimp producers adopting eco-friendly and accountable production methods. This enhances the industry's reputation and appeal to conscientious consumers. Therefore, these factors will drive the market in the coming years. Additionally, as consumers become more health-conscious, the demand for shrimp and other seafood as a healthy dietary choice rises. Shrimp, a low-calorie and high-protein food, becomes a sought-after option, driving up consumption. Market expansion is fueled by the increased understanding of seafood's health advantages. The market is experiencing growth as consumers increasingly incorporate shrimp into their diets for its nutritional value. The market responds with value-added products, such as pre-cooked and pre-packaged shrimp, catering to consumers' busy lifestyles and dietary preferences. The connection between shrimp's health benefits and environmentally sustainable sourcing practices encourages consumers to look for responsibly sourced shrimp products, aligning the market's growth with sustainability initiatives. These factors are expected to boost the demand for shrimp in the future.
However, Disease outbreaks often lead to high mortality rates among shrimp populations. Shrimp farmers may lose a significant portion of their harvest due to infected or affected shrimp. This reduction in supply can decrease shrimp products' availability in the market. To manage and mitigate disease outbreaks, shrimp farmers may need to invest in disease prevention and control measures, such as improving biosecurity, changing water management practices, and adopting better feed and nutrition strategies. Frequent and severe disease outbreaks can create a disincentive for new investments in shrimp farming. Potential investors may be discouraged by the perceived risk associated with disease management and its impact on profitability. Therefore, the market will witness decreased demand in the coming years.
