Aquaculture disinfectants market seen reaching $2.23 billion by 2030

By AI, Created 1:40 PM UTC, May 25, 2026, /AGP/ – The Business Research Company says the aquaculture disinfectants market is on track to grow from $1.47 billion in 2025 to $2.23 billion by 2030, driven by rising seafood demand, disease prevention needs and tighter aquaculture biosecurity. Asia-Pacific led the market in 2025, while North America is expected to grow fastest through the forecast period.

Why it matters: - Aquaculture disinfectants help protect fish and shellfish farms from disease outbreaks and waterborne contamination. - The market tracks the broader expansion of global seafood farming, which depends on cleaner water, safer equipment and stronger biosecurity. - Faster growth in this market signals more investment in intensive aquaculture and disease control.

What happened: - The Business Research Company released its Aquaculture Disinfectants Market Report 2026, covering market size, trends and global forecasts for 2026 to 2035. - The report says the market will rise from $1.47 billion in 2025 to $1.6 billion in 2026. - The report forecasts the market will reach $2.23 billion by 2030. - The company also projects an 8.5% CAGR for the 2025 to 2026 period and an 8.7% CAGR through 2030. - A free sample of the report is available here. - The full report is available here.

The details: - Aquaculture disinfectants are chemical or physical agents used to eliminate or suppress harmful microorganisms in water, equipment and facilities tied to fish and shellfish farming. - The products are used to prevent disease transmission and support a healthier aquatic environment. - Buyers weigh effectiveness, safety for aquatic life and compatibility with farm systems when selecting disinfectants. - Reported growth drivers include aquatic disease outbreaks, higher global demand for fish, growth in commercial aquaculture farms, better awareness of water sanitation and greater use of chemical disinfectants in hatcheries. - Forecast growth is linked to sustainable aquaculture methods, stronger demand for seafood proteins, more investment in biosecurity, expansion of intensive fish farming and safer low-toxicity disinfectant formulations. - The report points to environmentally friendly disinfectants, oxidizing agents for waterborne pathogens, non-toxic fish-safe chemicals, disease prevention initiatives in shrimp and fish farming, and automated dosing systems as emerging trends. - The report says Asia-Pacific was the largest regional market in 2025. - North America is expected to post the fastest growth rate over the forecast period. - The regional analysis also covers South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The 2026 edition includes market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, and updated graphics and tables.
