Summary

Shrimps are classified as decapod crustaceans that play important roles in the food chain and are an important food source for larger animals ranging from fish to whales. Humans consume the muscular tails of several shrimps that are widely caught and farmed for consumption.

Global shrimp market was valued at US$ 40.88 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.01% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Drivers

Around 20% of the species of shrimp are commercially significant that include Whiteleg, giant tiger prawn, akiami paste shrimp, southern rough shrimp, and others. Based on their categorization of presentation, grading, color, and uniformity, most shrimps are sold frozen and marketed for high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and low levels of mercury along with proteins, vitamin A and B6, B12, C, and E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorous, copper, choline, iodine, and astaxanthin. Furthermore, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and anti-cancer properties. Chitosan from shrimp shells has a range of applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics, and water treatments. Pigments such as carotenoids and astaxanthin are obtained from shrimp waste and are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry.

High nutritional benefits of shrimp along with increasing applications of chitosan and pigments obtained from shrimp are driving the growth of the shrimp market. Moreover, the growing consumption of seafood and the increasing aquaculture industry is further fueling the growth of the global shrimp market. For instance, according to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) survey in July 2020, the global per capita seafood consumption increased above 20 kg per person per year.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of shrimps through supermarkets/hypermarkets declined by 22.8%, by value, from 2019 to 2021. This was due to the economic crisis in Europe, where the GDP fell by 7% in 2020, and to some extent in the U.S. where the GDP decreased to 2.3%. Consumers have switched to private label brands instead of U.S. national brands, which offer varieties of shrimp products, such as South American White Shrimp, Asian White Shrimp, and Breaded Shrimp Products.

Market Restraints

Trade War between developed economies is expected to hinder the growth of the global shrimp market. In the wake of becoming a financial superpower like China, the U.S., and Russia, are involved in a trade war from past few years.

In 2019, the Chinese Government imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods which affected US$ 110 Billion in estimated annual reports at different tariff rates from 10-25%. The U.S. Government announced a phase one trade deal with China on October 11, 2019, which was implemented on February 15, 2019 but the seafood industry was left out of the settlement. Such trade wars limit the import and export of seafood and mainly shrimp, which is one of the most consumed seafood in the world. Therefore, trade wars between developed and underdeveloped nations act as restraints for the market growth.
