Crayfish Industry Report by Regional Category Spend, Price Analysis, Key Demand, and Price Indicators, and Best Buying Practices


The global Crayfish market attained a volume of about 2751.9 KMT in 2021. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 25% in the forecast period of 2022-2027 to reach a volume of about 10248 KMT by 2027.

The global Crayfish industry report gives a comprehensive analysis of the industry, including key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, the competitive landscape, and other essential market aspects. The growing health consciousness among individuals is primarily driving the market's growth. The Asia Pacific is the highest category spender by region, driving the demand for the Crayfish industry.

Industry Definition and Segmentation

Crayfish, or crawfish, is a little lobster-like freshwater that dwells in freshwater streams, ponds, lakes, swamps, and marshes and is often green, dark brown, or sandy in appearance. It is high in fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids. The Crayfish industry report comprises segments by type (farmed, wild), species (red swamp, red claw, others), category (frozen (precooked), frozen (raw), live/fresh), and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).

The Asia Pacific Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

The Asia Pacific holds a significant share in the industry as China accounts for a substantial portion of global crayfish demand. In addition, due to the high availability of crayfish in countries like Australia and New Zealand and the strong demand for seafood in these countries, the Asia Pacific area (excluding Japan) accounts for a very high part of the worldwide crayfish market with a significant growth rate.

The market is witnessing growth owing to the high nutritional content of the product. Crayfish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in enhancing vision by minimising the risk of macular degeneration and vision loss. The rising demand for food products that are healthy, and nutrient-rich is gaining traction among consumers, which is boosting the market demand. Crayfish has several health advantages, including weight loss, bone and brain growth, and depression prevention, further its need. The demand for fish is highest in poor and undeveloped regions as it aids starvation, thus resulting in increased demand.

However, the rising popularity of veganism and the high cost of crayfish exports are projected to stifle the market's expansion.

Best Procurement Practices

The global Crayfish industry report by Procurement Resource gives an in-depth analysis of the best buying practices followed by major global Crayfish regions, such as engagement models, contract terms, and buyer and supplier negotiation levers, among others.

Category Management Studies

Crawfish are raised in small earthen ponds with a depth of 8 to 24 inches. For the cultivation, harvesting, and maintenance of vegetation, relatively flat, readily drained land with sufficient levees is necessary. Crawfish are raised in regions with enough clay in the soil to store water and allow for burrow building. Apart from water quantity, the water needs for crawfish production are identical to those for other freshwater aquaculture projects. Ponds are filled in the fall and emptied in the spring, and different water exchanges are occasionally required due to the oxygen requirement from rotting plants.

Changing Consumer Patterns, Further Propelling the Procurement of Crayfish

The market is being aided by the easy availability of the product, which has also resulted in demand for processed and packaged crayfish, particularly from non-producing nations assisting the crayfish market's growth. Consumers prefer packaged and processed crawfish to avoid dealing with trash and to cut down on time spent preparing crayfish. Consumers choose frozen crustaceans for immediate consumption due to the fast-paced urban lifestyle providing the market with a significant thrust. Furthermore, parts of the fish like the abdomen and tail flesh are popular among consumers furthering their market demand.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
