Australia fish market growth is driven by evolving consumer preferences and growing awareness about the health benefits of eating fish

Australia's fish market is booming, fuelled by several trends reflecting changing consumer tastes and priorities. First, consumers are increasingly aware of the health benefits of eating fish. This growing knowledge has significantly boosted the market. On top of that, consumers are recognizing the value of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients.

As per the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES), over the past twenty years, salmon has become a major player in Australian fisheries and aquaculture, making up 37% of production in 2023-24. While global salmon production is increasing, driving down prices, Australia's production is expected to see moderate growth in the coming years. This is likely to make up for any decline in the value of other important seafood products, like rock lobster and abalone, which are facing lower prices.

Further, aquaculture's importance in seafood production is expected to keep growing. By 2028-29, it's expected that aquaculture will account for 64% of the total seafood production value, up from 60% in 2023-24. In real terms, the value of aquaculture is expected to reach USD 2.21 billion by 2028-29.
