Market Overview

The term carp refers to several freshwater fish species in the Cyprinidae family, including the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). As carp are considered a non-native species in many waterways, efforts to restrict carp production have been occurring at many state and federal levels. Despite being marketed as a sustainable seafood substitute, carp had few commercial uses at the time because of state and federal concerns about it. Instead of only marketing carp as a whole species, some businesses have begun evaluating value-added products of carp fish, such as fillets, and even fillets to enhance the market viability of carp, while creating an economic incentive for population control. A fish protein demand has been rising due to increased health perspectives about bone health, early skin-old age, and medical evidence for a high incidence of heart-related diseases, but there is also evidence of the nutritional health value of carp, specifically the long-term chronic disease and hormone regulation effects that increase their potential good in this market. The market is also expected to grow throughout the period because of lifestyle changes, the pace of urban living, and consumer preference for healthy food.

The Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and other laws have given the United States the chance to increase carpet production to boost domestic manufacturing and lessen reliance on carpets imported from elsewhere.
