    IPO Analysis by Experts / Fund Managers

    About Seafood IndustryDetailed information about the companyFinancial snapshot

    Global seafood consumption has grown at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 1.6% over 2006 to 2016, higher than meat (which includes bovine, poultry, pig meat and sheep meat) which grew at a CAGR of 0.8% during the same period. Global demand for seafood has risen because of rising population and incomes, availability of a variety of fish, and high protein content.In terms of per capita consumption, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) countries (25.39 kg) and Asia (24.71 kg) topped the chart, while Africa and Latin America were at the bottom as per the provisional estimates of 2017. Per capita seafood consumption for India stands at a mere 6.64 kg in 2017, indicating
    considerable potential for further growth.

    Overfishing, or exploitation of seafood stock exceeding the maximum sustainable yield level, has resulted in stagnation in capture fisheries over the past 10 years. Within capture fisheries, the share of marine capture, which expanded continuously to reach a peak level of 86.4 million MT in 1996, has been on a declining trend. Based on Food and Agriculture Organization (“FAO”) analysis, the share of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels has declined from 90% in 1974 to 68.6% in 2013. This indicates that 31.4% of global fish stocks were estimated to
    be over-fished, i.e., biologically unsustainable, thereby increasing the importance of aquaculture in meeting global seafood demand. During 2006 and 2016, while the global aquaculture production grew at 5.2% CAGR, capture fisheries rose at a 0.2% CAGR. Consequently, during the corresponding period, the share of aquaculture in overall
    seafood industry increased by approximately 1,200 bps from 34% in 2006 to 46% in 2016. Going forward, the trend is expected to continue as per the OECD-FAO agricultural outlook 2017-2026 report, thereby increasing the share of aquaculture to 53% by 2026. However, as per the OECD-FAO report, capture fisheries is expected to remain stagnant (at approximately 92 million MT similar to 2016 level) during following decade (2017 to 2026)

    Shrimp production in 2017 was the highest-ever production recorded. Among the types of production, aquaculture method of shrimp production has steadily increased due to improved quality of feed, higher raw material availability, better disease management, government support for aquaculture for shrimps, developing new markets and higher realisation for produce.
    The share of aquaculture shrimp production stood at 72% of the global shrimp production in 2017 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% between 2010 and 2017. However, growth of capture shrimp production grew at a comparatively slower rate of 1.6% CAGR during the corresponding period.

    Global exports of shrimps including value added products has risen at a CAGR of 3% between 2012 and 2016 in volume terms from 2.2 million MT in 2012 to 2.5 million MT in 2016. However, the growth of global shrimps exports rose at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2012 and 2016 from 18.4 billion USD in 2012 to 22.3 billion USD in 2016.
    Developed countries such as the United States, Japan and the European Union are highly dependent on imports of fishery products, as they are not self-sufficient in meeting their domestic requirement. South-east Asian countries such as Thailand source seafood products from countries such as India, add value and re-export to countries in the west, thereby earning better margins. China is one of the largest importers as well as exporters of these products.

    Rising demand for aquaculture products such as shrimp and tuna has helped the United States in maintaining the pole position. Japan, which was once the largest importer, now occupies a distant second, after being overtaken by the United States. Factors such as declining demand, especially from the youth, coupled with weaker currency has made imports expensive in Japan.
    The United States, Japan, Spain, China and France are the key importing countries of shrimp products, together accounting for approximately 54% of total shrimp imports (in volume terms as of 2016). Apart from its own production, China imports from countries such as India, and re-export value-added products to markets in the United States and Europe. Also, consumption of certain species, which are not domestically produced, is on the rise in China. All these factors make the country one of the largest importers for aquaculture products.

    The rising demand for shrimp is met by top exporting countries such as India, Ecuador, Argentina, Indonesia and China, accounting for 60% (in volume terms as of 2016) of total shrimp exports. India’s share in the total shrimp exports to the world increased approximately 500 bps from 16% to 21% between 2010 and 2015. Advantage of tropical weather, availability of long coastline and brackish water, improved farming techniques, entrepreneurial nature of farmers, backward and forward integration supporting shrimp aquaculture and government backing for
    setting up aquaculture farms have helped India ramp up its production and gain significant share in the exports market

    Top five countries exporting shrimps to the United States in 2017 were India, Indonesia, Thailand, Ecuador and Vietnam by both volume as well as value. These five countries account for approximately 80% share by volume and approximately 82% share by value as of 2017. India holds the top position accounting for 32% share by volume and 33% by value during 2017. India has depicted the highest CAGR of 27% between 2012 and 2017 in shrimp exports
    to the USA followed by Indonesia at a CAGR of 10% during the same period.

    The United States market is slowly moving towards value-addition in shrimp imports, with peeled category enjoying the highest share at 42% in volume and value terms as of 2017. While cold-water shell-on shrimp products have reduced to negligible quantities, share of warm-water shell-on shrimp products, imported mainly from Asian and south-east Asian countries has maintained a strong share of 35% in volume and value terms during 2017. Average “56
    realisations were the highest for cooked category at USD 11,254 per MT during 2017 followed closely by coldwater shell-on category at USD 11,091 per MT for the same period. The warm-water shell-on category, with average realisations of USD 9,661 per MT grew at CAGR 4.1% during 2012 and 2017.
