significant that include Whiteleg, giant tiger prawn, akiami paste shrimp, southern

Furthermore, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, and anti-cancer properties.
Chitosan from shrimp shells has a range of application in pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals, cosmetics, and in water treatments. Pigments such as carotenoids
and astaxanthin are obtained from shrimp waste and is widely used in the
pharmaceutical industry.
High nutritional benefits of shrimp along with increasing applications of chitosan and
pigments obtained from shrimp are driving growth of the shrimp market. Moreover,
growing consumption of seafood and increasing aquaculture industry are further
fuelling growth of the shrimp market. For instance, according to United Nations Food
and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO) survey in July 2016, the global per capita
seafood consumption increased above 20 kg per person per year.
Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2016 and accounted for 36.56% share in the
global shrimp market. Rising health awareness, high availability of shrimps at low
price, and growing food service industry are some of the major factors supporting
growth of the shrimp market in the region. Countries such as China, India, Vietnam,
Indonesia, and Thailand are some of the major producers of shrimp worldwide.
Further, growing aquaculture and marine capture production is also expected to
boost growth of the Asia shrimp market over the forecast period. According to UN
FAO, the total marine capture production was highest in China at 14,811,390 tons in
2014, which increased by 3.4% to 15,314,000 in 2015. China, followed by Indonesia,
with total marine capture production of 6,016,525 tones, which increased by 0.2% to
6,028,260 tons in 2015. Further, according to FAO, in 2016, the Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam, had reported the total production of
black tiger shrimps in the Mekong Delta area to be 250,000 tones. These are the
factors largely contributing to growth of shrimp market in Asia Pacific.
Food segment was the largest application segment in 2016, owing to growing
demand from restaurants and fast food chains for shrimps along with rising
popularity of frozen and canned shrimps. According to the UN FAO, the global
aquaculture production of food fish was recorded to 73,681 thousand units in 2014.
In addition, shrimps have high content of omega-3 fat including EPA
(Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), which aids in improving
cardiovascular and nervous system health. Rising awareness regarding health
benefits of consuming omega-3 ingredients and fish-oil as food supplement is
anticipated to boost growth of the food segment over the forecast period.

US$ 121 million; and in October 2014, Alkame Holdings, Inc. acquired High Country
