As we enter 2025, the global High Acid Fish Oil (HAFO) market is experiencing one of the largest price increases in the last five years. Driven by changes in supply, climate impacts, and rising demand across multiple industries, HAFO has become a high-demand commodity in Asia, South America, and Europe.

This report breaks down what exporters and global buyers need to know right now.

1️⃣ Limited Global Supply Pushes Prices Up

2024 closed with declining fish catch volumes, especially from:

Peru (anchoveta supply reduction)
India (monsoon disruptions)
Vietnam (seasonal shortages)

This supply tightening has led to:

🔼 20–35% price increase in Q1 2025
🔼 Higher FFA levels due to warmer waters
🔼 Longer lead times from major producers

El Niño and unpredictable ocean temperatures continue to reduce pelagic fish availability, directly affecting HAFO production.

2️⃣ Aquafeed & Livestock Industries Increasing Consumption

Across Asia, feed manufacturers are replacing expensive refined oils with high-acid fish oil:

Industries driving demand:

🐟 Aquaculture (especially pangasius, tilapia, shrimp)
🐓 Poultry feed producers
🐖 Swine feed mills

Why they choose HAFO:

Highly affordable
Rich in Omega content
Enhances growth & feed efficiency

This shift alone has boosted demand by 15–22% in early 2025.

3️⃣ Industrial Users Are Buying More HAFO Than Ever

Beyond animal feed, new industries in 2025 are turning HAFO into a key raw material:

Expanding sectors:

🔧 Biofuel & biodiesel production
🏭 Oleochemicals
📦 Industrial lubricants
🔥 Boiler & furnace fuel

These industries favor HAFO because of:

Competitive pricing
High availability
Lower refining requirements

As a result, industrial-grade buyers in EU, UAE, South Korea, and South America have significantly increased import volumes.

4️⃣ Global Buyers Shift Toward Vietnam, India, & Thailand

With Peru’s supply still fluctuating, buyers are now sourcing more from:

🇻🇳 Vietnam — stable supply, good pricing
🇮🇳 India — large pelagic fish processing market
🇹🇭 Thailand — strong export routes

Vietnam, in particular, is becoming a preferred supplier due to:

Improved refining technology
Better moisture control
Faster shipping schedules

5️⃣ What to Expect for Q2–Q4 2025

Based on current projections:

📈 Prices likely to remain high until at least Q3 2025

📉 Supply will remain tight due to unstable fishing seasons

🌍 Buyers will continue shifting toward Asian exporters

Exporters should prepare for:

Higher purchase competition
More long-term contract requests
Increased QC requirements

Buyers should focus on:

Securing stable shipments
Ensuring specs match (FFA %, moisture, impurities)
Monitoring global freight rates

Conclusion

The High Acid Fish Oil market in 2025 is shaping up to be one of the strongest in years. With rising demand from both feed and industrial sectors, combined with limited global supply, HAFO prices are expected to stay elevated.

👉 Exporters must stay competitive, transparent, and consistent with supply.
👉 Buyers should secure contracts early to avoid Q3–Q4 price spikes.
