World Food Network cites GSMC projections pointing to Ecuador-led growth and rising black tiger shrimp output

HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA — Global farmed shrimp production is forecast to reach 6.34 million metric tons in 2026, representing a 4% increase, or approximately 300,000 metric tons, according to data and industry analysis published by World Food Network, following the Global Seafood Market Conference (GSMC) hosted by the National Fisheries Institute (NFI).

According to World Food Network, members of the shrimp industry panel at GSMC projected that global output will rise from approximately 6.145 million tons in 2025 to 6.34 million tons in 2026, driven primarily by expanding production in Ecuador and continued strength in key Asian farming regions.

Industry Leaders Detail Production Outlook

During the conference, Robins McIntosh, Vice President of Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF), presented updated forecasts for the combined farmed production of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon).

As cited by World Food Network, McIntosh stated that:

  • Ecuador’s shrimp production is expected to increase to 1.75 million tons in 2026, setting a new historical record.

  • China’s shrimp output is projected to reach 1.55 million tons, including around 180,000 tons of black tiger shrimp.

  • India’s production is expected to remain largely unchanged in 2026, staying in line with 2025 volumes, before returning to growth in 2027.

McIntosh emphasized that Ecuador will account for the majority of global production growth, while India’s recovery is expected to be more gradual.

Looking Ahead to 2027

According to projections shared at GSMC and reported by World Food Network:

  • If Ecuador’s rapid expansion continues, its shrimp production could reach 2 million tons in 2027.

  • India is forecast to resume growth in 2027, with output increasing by around 6% to approximately 990,000 tons, including 540,000 tons of whiteleg shrimp.

Black Tiger Shrimp Enters High-Growth Phase

McIntosh also highlighted a shift in species dynamics, noting that black tiger shrimp production is entering a high-growth phase. Global output of black tiger shrimp is expected to exceed 600,000 tons in 2026, supported by improved farm management, disease control, and renewed demand for larger shrimp sizes.

“I expect the global production growth trend to continue, with the only limiting factor being market demand,” McIntosh said, as reported by World Food Network.

Market Balance Remains Key

While production forecasts remain positive, analysts cited by World Food Network cautioned that market demand, pricing pressure, and trade conditions—particularly in the United States, China, and the European Union—will play a decisive role in determining profitability across the global shrimp sector.


  世界の養殖エビ生産量、2026年に634万トンへ

GSMCの予測をWorld Food Networkが報道、エクアドル主導の成長とブラックタイガーの増産に注目

米国フロリダ州ハリウッド — 世界の養殖エビ生産量は2026年に634万トンに達し、**前年比4%増(約30万トン増)**となる見通しである。これは、**National Fisheries Institute(NFI)が主催したGlobal Seafood Market Conference(GSMC)**の内容を基に、World Food Networkが報じたもの。

World Food Networkによると、GSMCで行われたエビ産業パネルでは、2025年の約614万5,000トンから2026年には634万トンへと世界生産量が拡大すると予測されており、成長の主因はエクアドルの生産拡大とアジア主要生産国の安定した供給にあるという。

業界幹部が示す国別生産見通し

会議では、タイの大手水産・食品グループ、チャロン・ポカパン・フーズ(Charoen Pokphand Foods:CPF)副社長のロビンズ・マッキントッシュ(Robins McIntosh)氏が、**バナメイエビ(Litopenaeus vannamei)ブラックタイガー(Penaeus monodon)**を含む養殖エビの最新予測を発表した。

World Food Networkが伝えた同氏の発言によると、

  • エクアドルの生産量は2026年に175万トンへ増加し、過去最高を更新する見込み。

  • 中国の生産量は約155万トンに達し、そのうち約18万トンブラックタイガーとなる。

  • インドの生産量は2026年は2025年並みにとどまり、大きな増減はないと予測されている。

マッキントッシュ氏は、世界全体の増産分の大半はエクアドルが担うとの見方を示し、インドの回復は段階的になると述べた。

2027年の見通し

World Food Networkによると、GSMCで示された中期見通しでは、

  • エクアドルの成長が継続した場合、2027年には生産量が200万トンに達する可能性がある。

  • インド2027年に生産が再び拡大し、前年比6%増の約99万トン、そのうち約54万トンがバナメイエビになると予測されている。

ブラックタイガーが高成長フェーズへ

マッキントッシュ氏はまた、ブラックタイガーエビが「高成長フェーズ」に入ったと指摘。2026年の世界生産量は60万トンを超える見通しで、養殖技術の改善、疾病管理の進展、大型サイズエビへの需要回復が背景にあるという。

「世界の生産量は今後も増加基調を維持すると見ている。唯一の制約要因は市場の需要だ」と同氏は述べたと、World Food Networkは伝えている。

市場需給のバランスが鍵

一方で、World Food Networkが引用する業界関係者は、米国、中国、欧州連合(EU)といった主要市場における需要動向、価格圧力、貿易環境が、今後の収益性を左右する重要な要素になると指摘している。


 全球养殖虾产量预计2026年达到634万吨
World Food Network 引述 GSMC 预测:厄瓜多尔领跑增长,黑虎虾产量加速上升

  • 印度 2026 年产量预计将 与 2025 年基本持平,短期内增长有限。

McIntosh 指出,全球新增产量的主要贡献将来自厄瓜多尔,而 印度的复苏将相对温和

2027 年前景展望
