Market Forecast:

Global Ornamental Fish Feed Market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.8% and reach USD 1,387,281.2 Thousand by 2026. The global ornamental fish feed market is expected to register a notable growth rate during the forecast period. Rising preference for pet fish and construction of aquarium as décor are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Also, the rising demand for commercial feed boosts the growth of the ornamental fish feed market. Entrepreneurs venturing into the ornamental fish industry are expected to create a growth opportunity for the market in the coming years. However, fluctuating raw material prices of ornamental fish feed are restricting the growth of the market.

Ornamental aquaculture is a fast-developing sector that demands innovation and implementation of advanced technologies to promote itself to the next level to compete in the international market. Live food was the only option for early aquarium hobbyists, whereas now they are more often used as a supplement to a commercial diet. Commercial fish feed is formulated to provide aquarium fish with a majority of their basic nutritional needs. Ornamental fishes are characterized by a diversity of colors and patterns. Colour is one of the major factors determining the price of aquarium fish in the global market. Fish, like other animals, do not synthesize carotenoids and depend on dietary carotenoid content for the coloration. Thus, commercial feed is formulated to enhance the coloration along with providing necessary nutrients for health and growth. Also, feed additives used in commercial feed facilitate feed ingestion. Moreover, live fish food is more expensive than processed flakes and pellets. Thus, the rising demand for commercial feed is driving the overall market growth.
