Rising Demand for Sustainable Nutrition Fuels 7.1% CAGR in Norway Fish Protein Market by 2034

The fish protein market is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising demand for sustainable nutrition, functional ingredients, and health-focused food innovations.
Published 15 September 2025

The global fish protein industry is poised for a transformative decade, with market projections indicating a surge from USD 1,065.0 million in 2024 to USD 2,134.5 million by 2034, representing a robust 7.2% CAGR. This growth reflects the rising consumer demand for high-quality protein sources and an increasing focus on health, nutrition, and sustainable production practices.

The Norway fish protein market is witnessing steady growth, driven by rising demand for sustainable nutrition and expanding applications across food, supplements, and aquaculture.

Fish protein, derived from both wild-caught and farmed fish, has gained prominence in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, and even cosmetics due to its rich amino acid profile and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. This surge in demand is particularly evident among fitness enthusiasts, health-conscious consumers, and athletes seeking muscle repair, recovery, and overall well-being.

Technological Advancements Driving Industry Evolution

The industry is experiencing rapid technological evolution in fish protein extraction and processing. Innovative methods such as enzymatic hydrolysis and membrane filtration are increasing yield and improving product consistency, while advances in cold-storage logistics and packaging are enhancing shelf life and product safety. Such technologies not only improve efficiency but also ensure that high-quality fish protein reaches consumers in optimal condition.

Sustainable aquaculture practices are also revolutionizing fish protein production. Techniques like integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) enable environmentally friendly production while maximizing output. These methods allow the industry to meet growing protein demands without depleting marine resources, aligning with global sustainability goals.

Market Segmentation and Product Trends

Among fish protein products, fish protein isolate has emerged as a leading segment, valued for its versatility, high protein content, and sophisticated amino acid profile. By 2034, this segment is expected to account for 41% of the market, reaching USD 875.1 million. Similarly, powdered fish protein is highly preferred for dietary supplements due to its long shelf life and ease of transportation, projected to reach USD 1,344.7 million by 2034, holding a 63% market share.
