Market Definition
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic plants, aquatic animals, and other aquatic organisms. It is the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of organisms in water environments. Therefore, aquaculture equipment refers to the equipment that is used in the process of aquaculture farming. Over the year, the aquaculture industry has gained significant momentum in its growth rate and has shown great potential for growth. As a result, more and more players are entering this field.
Middle East and Africa Aquaculture Equipment Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
-
The rise, expansion, and growth of the aquaculture industry
Aquaculture, or fish and seafood farming, is the fastest-growing area of the food animal business. The growth of aquaculture has been fueled by the expansion in the Middle East and Africa trade, declines in the availability of wild fish, competitive product pricing, rising incomes, and urbanization— all of which contribute to the rising per capita consumption of seafood worldwide. Furthermore, making creative technical developments, investing in R&D, and cooperating with major industry players will extend and expand the aquaculture business's worldwide reach. This will also increase the growth of aquaculture equipment such as aerators, pumps, feeders, filters, and others that depend on the aquaculture industries. Thus, as a result of the growing aquaculture business, demand for aquaculture equipment will rise. In the foreseeable future, this is expected to drive the Middle East and Africa aquaculture equipment market.
-
Increase in seafood trading
Thanks to decades of increased fishery and aquaculture yields and growing Middle East and Africa demand, seafood is one of the most-traded food categories in the world today. The fastest growth rate of trade of aquatic products reveals that a higher proportion of seafood trading volumes comprised various species. Developing countries play a major role in seafood exports as developed countries are increasingly reliant on developing countries for imports of high-value species. Thus, the increasing trade of seafood increases the growth of the aquaculture industries, and this will result in increasing demand for aquaculture equipment. This is expected to drive the aquaculture equipment market in the near future.
Opportunities
-
Rising government measures to boost aquaculture
Fisheries and aquaculture provide food for hundreds of millions of people around the world every day. It aids food production and assists endangered animals by serving a variety of functions. Governments' initiatives, such as regulations and programs that promote aquaculture sector expansion, merely serve to prepare the way for future development alongside technological solutions. This expansion will create additional chances for important industry participants and farmers in the foreseeable future, making aquaculture a sector to monitor. As a result of this, rising government measures to boost aquaculture are expected to provide a market growth opportunity for the aquaculture equipment market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Concerns about food safety in aquaculture
Epidemiological data on foodborne infections shows that fish collected from open oceans are typically safe and healthy meals if they are refrigerated rapidly and handled appropriately. Aquaculture products, on the other hand, have been linked to certain food safety concerns, as the danger of contamination by chemical and biological agents is higher in freshwater and coastal habitats than in the open oceans. As a result, a lack of infrastructure and consistent government restrictions may limit market expansion. Aquaculture production will certainly become an increasingly important means of producing aquatic products for human consumption, but the risk related to food safety regarding aquaculture will get hard hit in the economy. This concerns food safety in aquaculture will hinder the growth of the aquaculture industry and, thus, restrict the growth of the aquaculture equipment market.
- Overfishing difficulties
With 90% of the world's wild 'fish stocks' fully fished, overexploited, or depleted, aquaculture is on the increase; yet, whether aquaculture is a solution to overfishing remains debatable. Overfishing is on the rise as seafood has become one of the most traded food commodities on the planet. When fish populations are overfished, the fragile marine ecosystems on which our planet depends are disturbed. Aquaculture, which covers both saltwater and freshwater species, is the technique of cultivating fish under controlled circumstances. It is the world's fastest-growing food production industry, accounting for around 44% of all fish consumed, but in order to maintain its expansion, it is primarily reliant on the capture of wild-caught fish. Thus, difficulties related to overfishing may act as a challenge for the aquaculture industry, and this may challenge the aquaculture equipment market growth.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on the Middle East and Africa Aquaculture Equipment Market
COVID-19 impacted various manufacturing industries in the year 2020-2021 as it led to the closure of workplaces, disruption of supply chains, and restrictions on transportation. Due to the lockdown, the market has experienced a downfall in sales due to the retail outlets being shut and the restrictions on customer access over the past few years.
However, the growth of the market post-pandemic period is attributed to more health awareness and consciousness among consumers and growing demand for healthy and nutritious seafood. This has led to the increased popularity of aquaculture among people due to the various health benefits and growing popularity of protein-rich foods. The key market players are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple R&D activities to improve their offerings. They are enhancing their market share by exploring different retail channels and expanding into new regions.
