According to the statistics of Prospective Industry Research Institute, from 2007 to 20 16, the crayfish breeding output in China increased from 260,000 tons to 850,000 tons, and the breeding area exceeded 9 million mu. At present, China has become the largest crayfish producer in the world.

From the domestic situation, crayfish consumption is mainly catering and processing. Crayfish catering is favored by the younger generation of consumers in China. With the increase of consumer varieties and the expansion of consumer groups, the catering consumer market has shown an explosive growth trend.

The researcher said that the crayfish industry is still in the primary stage of development and has not yet formed a complete industrial chain. The rapid distribution of capital in the crayfish industry is also in the market share, forming a scale effect. It is predicted that in the next year or two, capital will enter one after another, industry reshuffle will intensify, leading enterprises will be born, and some enterprises will be eliminated.
