North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global fish protein concentrate market. The region is expected to account for 38.7% of the market share in 2024. The region enjoys strong industry presence from key players who have been operating in the market for decades. With a well-developed protein and nutritional ingredients sector, North America serves as the innovation hub with companies continually investing in new product development.

Furthermore, North America has a robust seafood industry with the U.S. and Canada among the leading seafood producers and consumers globally. Abundant availability of raw materials within the region provides fish protein concentrate manufacturers with reliable supply chains and cost advantages over competitors. Local production also ensures just-in-time deliveries and flexibility in production schedules.

However, Asia Pacific has emerged as the fastest growing regional market in recent years. Countries like China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India have seen rising disposable incomes and growing health consciousness among consumers. This has increased the demand for high-quality protein sources across the nutrition, wellness, and personal care segments. The large populations in Asia Pacific provide immense market opportunities for fish protein concentrate.

International players see Asia Pacific as an attractive investment destination and are expanding their operations in the region. Many source raw materials from Southeast Asia where fish landings are high. Regional trade agreements have also opened up market access while tax incentives offered by governments are attracting foreign direct investments. With food manufacturing hub status of countries like Thailand, the production and distribution network is being strengthened in Asia Pacific.

With continuous economic growth projected, Asia Pacific's demand for fish protein concentrate is expected to accelerate further. The prices in the region are also comparatively lower than North America, making it an important sourcing base. While North America continues to reign, fish protein concentrate manufacturers are focusing considerable attention on Asia Pacific to ensure future growth.
