The global salmon production was peaked at 3.6 million metric tons in 2018 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period, with farmed salmon capturing nearly 74% of the overall salmon production in the world. Atlantic salmon is one of the most commonly cultured species of salmon across the world. The overall production of farmed Atlantic salmon was marked at 2.42 million metric tons in 2018. Good production of farmed Atlantic salmon had experienced a steep decline in the prices in both Norway and Chile in the first half of 2019. Subsequently, this declining price trend was sharply reversed and prices soared to near-record heights, primarily attributing to the ever-strengthening demand in traditional and emerging markets such as China.
