This report is the most comprehensive overview of shrimp import and export statistics for the year 2024. It includes import data for all major shrimp markets and export data for all major shrimp-producing nations. 

This report is limited to the trade data under the following HS codes: 030617, 160521, and 160529. These HS codes cover all frozen farmed shrimp and most frozen wild-caught warm-water shrimp. Trade data is split out on the 8-digit HS code level where possible. This means that exports of 030636 (live and chilled shrimp) are excluded from this report. 

This 196-page publication is the most in-depth overview of the Indian shrimp industry. The report's core consists of chapters about feed manufacturing, PL production, farming, and processing, complemented by more contextual chapters about markets, innovation, and institutions. The report is supplemented with 19 company profiles of some of India's largest and most influential shrimp companies. The report is produced based on primary and secondary data sources compiled on a best-effort basis.  

This version of the report is recommended for reading on mobile or printing at home.

While we’re always quick to say that the shrimp industry is very fragmented, the feed segment differs from other segments of the value chain. In countries such as Ecuador and Vietnam, the shrimp feed manufacturing segment is already very much consolidated and will consolidate even further over the next couple of years. Other countries are likely to follow the same path. As consolidation increases, a relatively small number of large global and regional players from Asia, Europe, and the US is slowly strengthening its grip on the industry as a whole.
