List of Tables

[190 Pages Report] The Fishing Bait Market size was estimated at USD 700.40 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 734.65 million in 2024, at a CAGR 5.07% to reach USD 990.43 million by 2030.

Fishing bait refers to any substance used to attract and catch fish and is primarily used to lure fish to the hook, trap, or fishing area, making fishing more accessible for anglers or fishermen. The effectiveness of fishing bait lies in its ability to mimic the natural prey of fish, catering to their instinctive feeding behaviors. The significant rise in outdoor fishing activities globally elevates the demand for fishing baits. Additionally, growing investments in fish farming and aquaculture activities create scope for fishing baits. However, fluctuating costs of plastics used in artificial baits and availability concerns associated with live baits restrain the growth of the fishing baits market. Nevertheless, the design advancements in artificial baits and supportive government funding for fishing projects are expected to create growth opportunities for fishing baits in the coming years.

Bait Type: Increasing adoption of artificial baits due to its reusability

Artificial baits are designed imitations that replicate the appearance and often the movement of natural prey to attract and catch fish. These are crafted from various materials, including plastics, metals, and fibers, to simulate the desirable characteristics of natural bait. Artificial baits allow anglers to target specific fish species under a wide range of conditions and can be reused multiple times, providing an efficient and versatile fishing option. Jigs are fishing lures with a weighted head and a body designed to create a jerky, vertical motion. Plugs are hard-bodied artificial baits designed to mimic the shape and movement of small fish or prey. Soft Plastics refer to a broad category of synthetic baits crafted from pliable, soft plastic materials, which can be shaped and colored to resemble a wide range of aquatic creatures such as worms, lizards, frogs, and fish, offering a realistic texture and often infused with scents or flavors to make them more attractive to fish. Spinners are characterized by one or more metal blades that spin around a wire shaft, creating vibrations and visual stimuli underwater that mimic small fish or other prey. Spoons are concave, metal lures resembling a spoon's bowl, designed to wobble and flash when pulled through the water, simulating injured baitfish. Natural baits include live or dead organisms such as worms, insects, and smaller fish. Natural baits are highly effective due to their genuine appearance, scent, and taste, making them ideal for anglers targeting specific species in fresh or saltwater.

Application: Significant use of fishing baits in freshwater fishing activities

Freshwater bait comprises organic or artificial substances that attract and catch fish in lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds where the water does not contain significant salt levels. Freshwater baits are designed to mimic the natural diet of fish found in these freshwater habitats, including insects, worms, smaller fish, and crustaceans. Types of freshwater bait can vary significantly, from live bait such as worms and minnows to artificial lures that imitate the appearance and movement of prey. Saltwater bait is used in marine environments, including oceans and seas, where the water has a high salt concentration. The baits are specifically tailored to attract sea-dwelling fish due to the different fish species and saltwater ecosystems. This includes a variety of live baits such as crabs, shrimp, and smaller baitfish, as well as a wide range of artificial lures designed to withstand saltwater's corrosive properties and mimic the prey of saltwater fish species. Similar to freshwater bait, the effectiveness of saltwater bait depends on the variety of fish being targeted, the fishing method, and environmental conditions.
