The omega-3 ingredients market is expected to grow from US$ 3 billion in 2022 to US$ 6 billion by 2031, at an estimated CAGR of 12.4% from 2022 to 2031.

Omega-3 ingredients consist of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which are necessary for maintaining overall health and wellness. Omega-3 ingredients are not synthesized by the human body, and thus, individuals need to supplement their diet with different dietary supplements, which can be consumed in the form of desserts, juices, etc.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Health awareness among people has increased significantly in recent years, as people, nowadays, are unable to concentrate on their health, fitness, and regular diet through busy lifestyles and hectic work schedules. As a result, the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, skin problems, digestive issues, and other diseases has surged considerably. With this, preventive healthcare products and dietary supplements have gained popularity among the masses. Omega-3 ingredients are majorly used in the commercial synthesis of nutritional supplements. In 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new health claims for the use of omega-3 ingredients in food and dietary supplements meant to avoid the risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the overall omega-3 ingredients market. The imposition of the lockdown led to the temporary discontinuation of various manufacturing activities, disrupting the supply chains, which substantially impacted the omega-3 ingredients market. In addition, travel restrictions resulted in irregularities and uncertainties in the transportation of raw materials. However, consumers became highly concerned about their health and fitness during this global health crisis, which propelled the demand for immunity-boosting health supplements. Moreover, people began focusing more on physical and mental fitness by performing activities such as yoga, exercises, and Zumba to improve their health, which created strong opportunities for the manufacturers of functional food and beverages. Omega-3 ingredients are used in a wide range of functional food and beverages. Manufacturers from the food & beverages and nutraceuticals industries are increasingly incorporating omega-3 ingredients as a major source of nutrients in their products.

In 2021, the global marketplace witnessed a resurgence as governments of various countries announced relaxations in several social restrictions, including lockdowns. Manufacturers resumed their operations at full capacities, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gaps. Many also expanded their production capacities to meet the rising consumer demands for omega-3 ingredients.
