OMEGA 3 INGREDIENTS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

Omega 3 ingredients are naturally-occurring polyunsaturated fatty acids and nutrients that are critical for human health. There are three types of omega 3 ingredients namely alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These types of ingredients are used in various applications such infant formula, supplements & functional foods, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals. Supplements & functional foods was the largest segment in the global omega 3 ingredients market in 2022, and the trend is expected to remain the same during the forecast period. Growing lifestyle and age-related diseases in North America and Europe is subsequently fueling growth of the supplements & functional foods segment. Also, emerging economies in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are fueling demand for omega 3 ingredients for application in the flourishing pharmaceuticals industry. The market for omega 3 ingredients is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.5%, during 2025-2032, according to Coherent Market Insights analysis.
