The market for aquaculture production sees profound and growing demand, and Norway is a central exporter

Norway is the world’s top producer of farmed salmon, accounting for over half of the global supply. With advanced aquaculture techniques and strong environmental standards, Norway has solidified its position as a top exporter of salmon worldwide – and is set for continued growth as government pushes for increased exports. 

Biological supply constraints, coupled with a profitable industry, create attractive investment opportunities

Biological and regulatory constraints limit production growth but also create opportunities.

These pressures are sharpening the industry’s focus on efficient biomass utilization and accelerating the adoption of new technologies. Companies offering solutions that help improve productivity or address biological challenges are well positioned for strong growth and increased prominence in the coming years.
