The global oyster market is estimated at 120,000 tons, between $ 800 million and $ 1.1 billion, and the types of products in circulation are identified in the order of 57% individual oysters, 35% egg oysters, and other dried oysters. In the case of population oysters, the global market is growing 3-5% every year. The Republic of Korea produces the most oysters after China, but the distribution price of oysters is relatively low at 4.14 $ / kg in Korea, 6.31 $ / kg in the US, 8.69 $ / kg in Australia, and 12.41 $ / kg in France. . As a result of the main cause analysis, most of Australia and France are concentrated in the form of distribution products. Therefore, in order to develop the oyster industry, the development of the local oyster farming industry is desperate. However, the development of the local oyster industry is still low enough to be absent in Korea, and industrialization has not been carried out.

In addition, in Korea, the oyster farming style is a technology that has begun to develop little by little in the last 5 years, so it is essential to develop a device for sorting shellfish even for the purpose of improving industrial competitiveness. This is a demand.
