Fish Protein Hydrolysate Market Outlook:
Fish Protein Hydrolysate Market size was valued at USD 383.6 million in 2025 and is anticipated to exceed USD 659.6 million by the end of 2035, registering over 5.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of the fish protein hydrolysate is assessed at USD 405.1 million.
The growth of the fish protein hydrolysate market is mainly influenced by the demand from the aquafeed and functional food sectors. The rising use of fish processing by-products derived from tilapia, shrimp, salmon, and herring further enhances protein recovery and nutrient recycling from these fish species. Government-funded aquaculture research initiatives underline the increased efficiency of FPH in improving feed conversion ratios, ensuring sustainability in the supply chain, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There has been increased research and development related to FPH for advanced fractionation and debittering.
Supply chains are predicated on by-product availability from pelagic and aquaculture species, helped by increased processing capacity operating facilities currently employed in North America and Europe. Trade classification also systematized fish protein concentrates, while the Producer Price Index for uncooked fish products experienced a steady increase, indicating stable upstream costs of manufacturing. The new generation of use cases of off-the-shelf enzymatic extraction systems now better facilitate export-enabling processing capable of competing in all global trade routes.
