The global shrimp industry is entering a new era. After a volatile 2024 filled with disruptions, 2025 offers a glimmer of hope—and for Asia, perhaps a golden opportunity to lead.

As market sentiment stabilizes and cost pressures begin to ease, shrimp farmers across the region are reassessing their approach: moving toward smarter, more sustainable, and more resilient aquaculture systems. This shift could define Asia's role in the next chapter of global seafood production

Slow but Steady Growth: Signs of Recovery in Global Shrimp Supply

According to market intelligence from Rabobank and international seafood trade bodies, the exponential growth in global shrimp supply that marked 2022–2023 is slowing down. However, the good news for 2025 is a forecasted 2% year-on-year increase, signaling a modest but steady rebound.

• Ecuador remains the global leader, with production rising by approximately 3%.
  

• Asia and Latin America continue to grow at a stable pace, despite ongoing price pressures.
  

• Although shrimp prices are still at historically low levels, the industry is expecting a positive correction, driven by rising demand for quality and food safety.
  

Lessons from 2024: A Year of Disruption and Reflection

2024 was undeniably a turning point. The shrimp sector faced:

• Supply chain disruptions
  

• Shifting import regulations
  

• Cautious demand from China and the EU
  

• Disease outbreaks, which drove up costs and reduced survival rates—especially in Asia
  

Yet amid these challenges, the industry was forced to adapt, restructure, and innovate. And Asia, with its immense potential in land, labor, and climate, could emerge stronger—if it leverages the right tools.

Asia’s Next Leap: Innovation, Quality, and Local Strength

To thrive in the new normal, the Asian shrimp industry must evolve. Here are three strategic pillars that could shape its future:

Boost Productivity with Technology

Smart farming begins with data. Through data analytics, farmers can monitor pond conditions in real time, predict disease outbreaks, and take preventive action—reducing losses and optimizing efficiency.

Improve Survival Rates through Better Practices

Instead of chasing short-term volumes, producers should:

• Focus on seed quality
  

• Adopt optimized care protocols
  

• Use effective water treatment and disinfection products to minimize microbial risks—one of the leading causes of fry mortality today
  

Reduce Dependency on Imports

Strengthening local supply chains not only lowers costs but also enhances resilience—especially amid volatile freight rates, tariffs, and global trade uncertainty.

U.S. Tariffs and China’s Strategic Shift: Impacts on Southeast Asia

In 2025, the U.S. imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imported shrimp—a game changer.

• While this directly affects exporters, it also prompts shifts in global production chains.
  

• China is expected to outsource more production to Southeast Asia particularly to avoid tariffs making use of existing infrastructure to maintain market share.
  

But this strategy raises internal competition risks for Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia, who must now protect their positions while adapting quickly.

Vietnam: Rising to the Occasion

With its rich aquaculture heritage, Vietnam is well-positioned to seize upcoming opportunities. However, capitalizing on this moment demands transformation—from traditional methods to cost-efficient, biosecure farming models.

This is where high-quality domestic solutions such as Vi-CHLORiNE become essential to unlocking future growth.
