The Vietnam aquaculture market is driven by increasing demand for seafood exports, advancements in sustainable farming practices, and government support for aquaculture development. According to the latest report by IMARC Group, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.15% from 2024 to 2032.

Dynamics of the Vietnam Aquaculture Market

The Vietnam aquaculture market is witnessing increasing global demand for seafood and the country’s strong position as a leading exporter. Sustainable aquaculture practices are gaining traction as both regulatory bodies and international buyers emphasize environmental responsibility. The adoption of eco-friendly farming methods, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and organic aquaculture, is expanding, helping producers meet stringent export standards while minimizing environmental impact. Technological advancements are playing a crucial role in the sector’s modernization.

The integration of automated feeding systems, water quality monitoring sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI)--driven farm management solutions is enhancing efficiency and yield. Additionally, the shift toward high-value species, such as shrimp, pangasius, and lobster, is reshaping the industry as producers focus on premium markets in North America, Europe, and Japan. The rising consumer preference for traceable and sustainably sourced seafood is driving the demand for certification programs like ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) and GlobalG.A.P. As Vietnam strengthens its position in the global seafood supply chain, the industry is expected to continue evolving with a focus on sustainability, technology, and value-added products.

Market Trends and Demand in 2024

The Vietnam aquaculture market is driven by the country’s extensive coastline and favorable climatic conditions providing an ideal environment for seafood farming, enabling large-scale production. Government support is a major driver, with policies promoting sustainable aquaculture, infrastructure development, and export incentives. The Vietnam Fisheries Development Strategy 2030 focuses on improving production efficiency, environmental sustainability, and international competitiveness, providing a strong foundation for industry growth.

Rising global seafood consumption is another crucial factor fueling market expansion. Vietnam is one of the world’s top seafood exporters, with increasing demand from major markets such as the United States, the European Union, and China. Free trade agreements, such as the EVFTA (EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement) and CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership), further enhance export opportunities by reducing tariffs and improving market access.

The shift toward high-value, processed seafood products is driving investment in modern processing facilities and cold chain logistics. Companies are focusing on value-added products such as ready-to-eat seafood, frozen meals, and marinated fillets to cater to changing consumer preferences. Additionally, advancements in aquafeed and disease management are improving farm productivity and reducing losses, making aquaculture more profitable. Vietnam's aquaculture sector is poised for global expansion due to its focus on sustainable practices, traceability, and advanced technologies.
