Fish oil is derived from tissues of various fish species and includes omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acids (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA). They provide various health benefits, including reduced risk of death due to heart attack, dangerous abnormal heart rhythms, lowered triglycerides, and strokes.
In 2020, Asia Pacific dominated the global fish oil market and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period. The rising awareness related to health benefits and the rich nutritional profile of fish oil is driving the fish oil market growth across the region.
