  What are the major drivers contributing to the growth of the insect feed market?
 The expansion of aquaculture industries is expected to fuel the growth of the insect feed market going forward. Aquaculture industries involve the farming of aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, and algae, in controlled environments for commercial purposes. The expansion of aquaculture industries is driven by the rising global demand for seafood as wild fish stocks decline. In aquaculture industries, insect feed is used as a sustainable and high-protein alternative to traditional fishmeal for feeding farmed fish and shrimp. For instance, in 2024, according to the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization, a US-based specialized agency of the United Nations, global fisheries and aquaculture production achieved a total output of 223.2 million tons in 2022, reflecting a 4.4% growth compared to the preceding two-year period. Therefore, the expansion of aquaculture industries will drive the growth of the insect feed market.
