Omega 3 Ingredients Market
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 2023-2030, according to Coherent Market Insights analysis.
Various research studies have established a link between consumption of fatty fish and lowering of coronary heart diseases. For instance, fish oils are used as a supplement to balance the required dietary intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Also, fish oil is commonly recommended as a supplement product for people who have had a myocardial infarction by the American Heart Association, World Health Organization (WHO), the National Heart Foundation of Australia and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).

Omega-3 ingredients are also linked with lowering the prevalence of cancer, heart diseases, and arthritis.

Negative consumer perception about the smell and taste of omega-3 ingredients is also expected to restrict the growth of the market. Technological advancements and product innovation is expected to fuel the market for omega-3 ingredients during the forecast period.

The ingredient is suitable as a single product or in a blend with other active ingredients. In March 2023, Epax Norway AS (Norway-based omega-3 ingredient manufacturer) launched a new molecular distillation technology. The new technology allows individual fatty acids to be separated from fish oil and ultra-concentrated without the use of excessive heat or harsh chemicalsNorth America, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market in 2022 and the trend is expected to remain the same during 2023-2030.
