Oyster Farming Market Overview:

Oysters refer to bivalve molluscs that grow naturally in seawater or saltwater. They are most noticeable with unusual greyish-white shells.

COVID-19 pandemic on the Oyster Farming Market:

COVID-19 is an incomparable worldwide emergency that has led to a temporary break in numerous agricultural activities. The lockdown in several countries across the globe resulted in a shortage of labours. The pandemic has also led to the implementation of strict land closure laws which has led to a decline in aquaculture practices in many countries, thus, having a negative impact on the oyster market. Post-pandemic, the industry expects more demands and demand due to the rapid growth of cities and the growing demand for prudent use of existing space.

Oyster Farming Market Dynamics:

A growing sector of bivalve aquaculture and an ever-increasing number of seafood commercial activities are driving the oyster market. In addition, consumer growth of bivalves and consumer-rich seafood varieties also stimulate market growth. In addition, the increasing penetration of eating habits across the continent and the growing trend toward delicious seafood increase the demand for oysters. Apart from this, several improvements in sales systems for fresh oysters, cans, and ice also stimulate market growth. Many key players embrace new home-grown and oyster farming solutions in an artificial sea-like environment to meet their growing consumer demand.

One of the latest trends in this market increased demand for pure protein and a green pack of seafood products, primarily in the growing economies such as China and India. Governments have also started promoting aquaculture worldwide and this is responsible for raising consumer awareness about health and healthy food benefits related to its use. Another reason for the growth in the oyster farming market is the increase in trade in marine living resources globally .

The two most commonly used methods for oyster farming are release and bags. In both cases, oysters are cultivated on the coast to the point of saliva when they cannot attach themselves to the substrate. They may be allowed to mature continuously to make "oyster seeds". In any case, they are then soaked in water to ripen. The rescue strategy involves spreading the spots across the existing oyster beds, allowing them to mature naturally and be collected like wild oysters. Packing bags is a farmer who puts saliva on racks or bags and stores them on top of the bottom. Harvesting involves simply lifting bags or racking up and removing ripe oysters. The latter method prevents the loss of some predators, but it is expensive.

Oysters Farming Market Segment Analysis:

Based on types/variety:

Cupped Oyster: Cupped oysters make up the major bulk of oyster production worldwide and Pacific oyster is the main breed. Spat is collected mainly in the natural environment by spitting on collectors. However, production of hatchery spat is increasing. The time from the beginning of the culture until marketing can range from 1 to 4 years, depending on the production area and the techniques used.

Flat Oyster: Flat oyster has the lowest production in the world. Some species may grow slowly and are much stronger than cup-fed oysters, but they are usually more valuable in food. Flat oyster is a heat-tolerant species that needs water temperatures above 16-18 degrees to mature sexually and reproduce. They are therefore found in areas where the water is warm enough in the summer, such as a protected area and lakes. European Flat Oyster is one of the types.

Based on End User:

Food Industry: Oysters are in great demand as they are highly nutritious as they are an excellent source of zinc, iron, calcium, as well as vitamin A and vitamin B₁₂. They serve as a major food source in all coastal areas. Oysters are in great demand worldwide.

Pharmaceuticals: There is a great need for oyster under various allopathic and homeopathic remedies, as well as dietary supplements. Research is still underway to find the active ingredients within the oyster and its potential therapeutic benefits.
