Market Overview

The Krill Meal Market consists of high-protein feed ingredients produced from Antarctic krill which serve as key ingredients for aquaculture operations as well as livestock feed and pet food production. Krill meal contains omega-3 fatty acids along with astaxanthin and essential amino acids which provide significant nutritional value for animal health and growth performance and pigmentation enhancement particularly in shrimp salmon and poultry. The market experiences growth due to increasing consumer interest in sustainable marine feed alternatives as fishmeal production decreases.
