Scaling Artemia Aquaculture: Emerging Markets and Trade
31 July 2026 | World Bank | .pdf | 1.34 MB
This Global Artemia Emerging Markets and Trade report offers a comprehensive overview of Artemia products and markets, from global trends to country-level case studies. It provides an in-depth assessment of traditional and emerging uses, supply systems, investment opportunities, and strategic risks. The study is global in nature, with illustrative cases of ‘farmed’ Artemia in Bangladesh, China, Thailand, and Viet Nam in Asia and Kenya in Africa and how new farmed products can compete with wild Artemia products.
The report provides the quantitative foundation for the synthesis, linking the production and governance analyses with global trade, price, and investment trends. Together, six studies form a coherent analytical suite:
- Global Overview of Production and Conservation - identifies the ecological and biological basis for sustainable Artemia supply.
- Governance Frameworks and Regulatory Gaps Assessment - maps national and international policy conditions influencing industry formalization.
- Country Value Chain Studies - provides cost structures and production models from five pilot countries (Bangladesh, China, Thailand, Viet Nam, and Kenya), illustrating diverse pathways from artisanal to industrial Artemia farming.
- Human Food Systems Study - explores Artemia’s potential as a novel, climate-resilient protein source for food and nutrition security.
- Global Technology and Innovation Inventory - catalogs emerging production technologies, processing tools, and digital innovations.
By connecting these strands, the report situates Artemia within a USD 50 billion aquaculture value chain, identifies regional demand drivers (shrimp, finfish, crab, pet food, and nutraceuticals), and highlights investment priorities in production diversification, biomass processing, and quality certification. It directly underpins the synthesis sections on competitiveness, business models, and investment pathways, providing the market logic behind the policy, governance, and social findings of the other reports.
