According to our latest market study on “Precision Aquaculture Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by component and system” the market was valued at US$ 422.43 million in 2020 and it is projected to reach US$ 1,209.96 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2021 to 2028.
Precision aquaculture involves various hardware and software components interconnected with each other. Sensors installed in the marine environment form a key part of these components as they monitor, interpret, analyze, and offer decision support for farm operations. A wide variety of sensors, such as acoustic, optical, and biological sensors, are used to gain insights into the farm environment, which assist in making decisions to enhance fish health and economic return, along with mitigating risk to the environment. The precision aquaculture benefits through farming operation repeatability, improving accuracy, facilitating autonomous and continuous monitoring, and offering reliable decision support; moreover, it helps reduce dependency on manual operations and subjective assessments, thereby enhancing the staff safety. As per IEEE Xplore, aquaculture is likely to supply ~62% of fish for human consumption by 2030. Thus, the increase in yields of aquaculture across the world offers significant growth opportunities to the precision aquaculture market players.

The growing efforts of investors and startups driving the aquaculture industry toward greater sustainability. Hence, with better investment opportunities available, the health of the industry will be enhanced with the integration of next-generation technologies, government initiatives, and smart solutions. AI plays an important role in the digitalization and transformation of the advanced business process. The technology provides the ability to learn from recorded data and experiences, as it comprises algorithms, patterns, and predictive insights. It can help estimate the production and demand by altering program parameters, further enhancing farm efficiency and monitoring ability. Apart from AI, the IoT, cloud computing, and other smart technologies are also gaining popularity in the global aquaculture industry.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Precision Aquaculture Market
COVID-19 has negatively impacted businesses in the region in four critical areas, such as supply chain/operations, workforce, 2020 investments, and product offering. In the first nine months, overhead costs, including expenses for sales, R&D, and administration of various providers fell adversely, due to severe measures taken in the course of the pandemic. Despite the effects of the global outbreak, earnings were improved, primarily due to continuous optimization of the cost structure.
The global pandemic badly affected the conventional fishing activities in the US, and as per the Trump government, aquaculture is one of the best means of protecting the country’s future seafood supply chain and food security. The government signed an order to surge the US competitiveness in the seafood sector, which instructed agencies to develop and boost sustainable production, including increased efficiency of aquaculture processes. Trump’s government announced the availability of US$ 300 million to help seafood.
