Fishing nets and aquaculture cages are tools utilized in aquatic environments for capturing and farming fish. Fishing nets, which are typically made of mesh, are designed to catch wild fish by trapping or entangling them. In contrast, aquaculture cages are enclosed structures that raise fish in controlled environments, often in open water. The nets within aquaculture cages help keep the fish contained, protect them from predators, and ensure proper water flow.
The primary types of tools are fishing nets and aquaculture cages. Fishing nets are mesh devices constructed from fibers or synthetic materials, used to catch fish and other aquatic organisms by trapping or entangling them. Their applications include both marine and inland waters, serving both individual and commercial purposes.

This fishing net and aquaculture cage market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The fishing net and aquaculture cage market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.71 billion in 2024 to $2.84 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing cost of raw materials, Increasing demand for seafood products, growing popularity of fishing equipment, increasing production and meeting consumer needs, and growth in marine farming.
The fishing net and aquaculture cage market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing trend of aquaculture expansion, increasing cost of raw materials, growing popularity of fishing equipment, increasing global demand for seafood, and rising consumer awareness of sustainable seafood. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, technological advancements in cage design, technological advancements in aquaculture, technological integration, and technological innovations in aquaculture systems.
The increasing popularity of seafood products is expected to drive the growth of the fishing net and aquaculture cage market in the coming years. Seafood products encompass a wide range of food sourced from marine life, primarily including fish and shellfish. The rising availability of these products is influenced by factors such as population growth, increasing incomes, a shift towards higher seafood consumption, and the expansion of aquaculture. Fishing nets and aquaculture cages offer efficient and sustainable methods for harvesting and cultivating fish, thereby enhancing the quality and availability of seafood. For instance, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry, an Australian government department, reported in December 2023 that Australians consumed about 350,000 tons of seafood in 2021-22, averaging 13.8 kilograms per person. Additionally, the value of fishery and aquaculture imports rose by 2% to $2.19 billion, largely driven by an increase in prawn imports. Thus, the growing popularity of seafood products is fueling the growth of the fishing net and aquaculture cage market.
Key players in the fishing net and aquaculture cage market are concentrating on developing long-fiber composites made from nylon to enhance sustainability and mitigate ocean plastic waste. Long-fiber composites consist of high-strength materials that reinforce nylon with long fibers, improving durability and performance for demanding applications. For example, in February 2022, Avient Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of specialized polymer materials, introduced Complet R, a new line of long-fiber reinforced composites created using post-consumer recycled nylon 6 sourced from end-of-life fishing nets. This initiative addresses the issue of ocean-bound plastic waste by providing sustainable material solutions for various applications. By using nylon 6 PCR (post-consumer recycled) derived from discarded fishing nets, these composites contribute to reducing ocean plastic pollution and promoting environmental responsibility.
