The North American fish protein powder market is a significant segment of the Fish Protein Powder Market. The North America region includes major markets such as the US, Canada, and Mexico. The growing fish production across the region coupled with the usage of fish for extracting protein out of it through screening or settling out the bones and drying, by extracting the oil in order to yield higher amount of protein is set to fuel its market growth. For instance, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the weighted production of marine aquaculture in the United States was roughly constant from 2014 to 2019. Nonetheless, throughout the same period, the amount of domestic marine aquaculture sales climbed an average of 2.3 percent per year. In addition, from formerly being among the top five producers internationally, the United States currently holds the 18th-place position globally. Between 70 and 85 percent of the seafood consumed in the United States is imported, and more than half of this seafood is thought to have been generated through foreign aquaculture. The nation's seafood trade deficit has increased to USD 17 billion in 2020, driven by imports.


Europe fish protein powder market includes the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Rest of the Europe are all included in the analysis of the European market. Europe continues to hold a significant share in the global fish protein powders market, owing to the presence of major players in the region providing fish protein powders for various applications coupled with their growing innovations. For instance, in April 2020, Prince Nova entered into an agreement to distribute marine nutrition products from Hofseth BioCare (HBC) within the EU. HBC offers a wide range of products including protein, calcium, and oil products from Norwegian salmon. In addition, the company uses its hydrolysis technology to extract nutrients from the fish which is then used in a wide range of application such as protein powder for sports, endurance, and recovery nutrition.


Asia-Pacific is the most populated region in the world, consisting of some of the major economies, including China, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand and others. The growing fishing sector across the APAC region coupled with the increasing government investment is set to create huge opportunities for its market growth. For instance, The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), a new flagship initiative with a huge investment of USD 2.46 billion for the growth and expansion of the fisheries sector in the nation, was recently presented by the government of India, led by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. The program's goals are to close large productivity and production gaps in the fishing industry, infuse innovation and cutting-edge technology, improve post-harvest infrastructure and management, modernize, and strengthen the value chain and traceability, and create a framework for efficient fisheries management and the welfare of fishermen. The plan emphasizes the significance of maximizing the potential of fisheries in a sustainable, moral, inclusive, and equitable manner. The PMMSY outlines ambitious objectives for FY 2025, such as increasing fish production by USD 0.61 million, increasing aquaculture productivity from the current national average of 3 tonnes per Ha to 5 tonnes per Ha, doubling exports from USD 5.72 billion to USD 12.28 billion, creating more job opportunities, and increasing fishers' and fish farmers' incomes by a factor of two to consolidate the fisheries sector's gains and promote.


The rest of the world includes South America, the Middle East, and Africa, will witness moderate growth in the fish protein powders market in the upcoming years. The various strategies adopted by the government bodies to expand the fishing sector is likely to create huge opportunities for the fish protein powders in the upcoming years. For example, in February 2022, the development of the fishing industry is a priority for the Brazilian government. For that reason, the Brazilian government announced a tender for the 20-year concession of seven public fishing ports, with a total anticipated investment and operational cost of around USD 135.17 million. According to technical assessments, this new initiative will benefit 59,000 artisanal fisherman, and fishery production might reach 54,000 tonnes annually. Due to improved handling and processing techniques, the amount of waste that must be minimized may reach 87,500 tonnes during the concession. Thanks to hygienic upgrades and USD 37.07 million in productivity benefits in industrial fishing, an additional USD 91.14 million in added value is anticipated. The project's socioeconomic advantages total close to USD 0.19 billion. Besides this, the recent steps taken by major government bodies to expand the production of fish in the region is likely to create huge opportunities for the fish protein powders market in the upcoming years. For example, in October 2021, within five years, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries says it aims to produce 13,000 tonnes annually, which would bring in USD 65 million in revenue. Japan, the United States, China, and Europe are anticipated to be the top export destinations, but they also see potential for the domestic market, which is currently supplied by imports from Chile.
