According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the aquaculture market in Vietnam is anticipated to witness steady growth and will post a CAGR of close to 6% during the forecast period. With the significant increase in the export of fish and seafood products by Vietnam, the market is likely to have a positive outlook over the coming years. The Vietnamese Fisheries and Aquaculture Department (FAD) has recently reported that the country is the fifth largest exporter of aquaculture products in the world. Although the export of seafood declined considerably in 2015, during the first half of 2016, export remained high, and the market witnessed a healthy rise of 4% in exports over the same period. Also, the majority of the exporters are Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) certified, and the others are Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified, which further increases the credibility of the export market of the country. Furthermore, the Vietnamese government is planning to increase its marine aquaculture production and has set a target to produce about 200,000 metric tons of marine fish through aquaculture by 2020, which will boost this market’s growth over the next four years.
One of the latest trends gaining traction in the market is the increasing use of sustainable practices owing to the increasing environmental concerns and awareness about the consequences of certain fishing techniques. The Vietnam government is following technical standards to reduce the casualties caused by growing instances of diseases and climate change, which includes product certification, farmers to use equipment that is product certified, among other initiatives. Moreover, the majority of vendors in the market are increasingly focusing on all aspects of aquaculture production, from the use of quality inputs to the efficient use of land, water, and energy resources. In addition, efforts are being directed to increase productivity and minimize the risk of diseases, pollution, and fish escapes, which will contribute to this growth of the aquaculture market in Vietnam in the coming years.
The aquaculture market in Vietnam is highly fragmented and comprises a large number of small and medium-sized vendors, largely consisting of self-employed farmers. The aquaculture players in the market are constantly looking for ways to enhance their production techniques, in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. They are also paying increasing attention to improving the use of resources and human capacity. The vendors compete with each other on various factors such as price, quality, availability, and variety. However, the price is set to become a major base for competition, with players specializing in certain species to gain an edge in the market. The market is highly competitive with all the players competing to gain a greater market share. Intense competition, rapid advances in aquaculture techniques and technology, and changes in consumer preferences constitute significant risks for vendors.

The growth of this segment is attributed to the low value and easy cultivation of this fish variety, which makes them a popular choice, especially in rural areas.
