Omega 3 ingredients are naturally occurring polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and nutrients that are imperative for optimal human health. They are widely found in fish, flaxseed, and dietary supplements, such as algal, krill refine tuna, and fish oil. Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are some common ingredient types. Omega 3 ingredients help structure the cell walls, provide energy, and maintain the optimum functioning of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, immune system, and endocrine systems. As a result, they find extensive applications in dietary supplements, infant formulas, clinical nutrition, pet food and feed, and functional foods and beverages.
Rising cases of obesity and heart-related issues across the globe are majorly driving the growth of the market. Omega 3 ingredients are widely used for treating chronic diseases, such as severe hypertriglyceridemia. Additionally, the increasing consumer preference towards high-quality supplement products due to hectic lifestyles and busy schedules is favoring the market growth. In line with this, the widespread adoption of dietary supplements comprising omega-3 fatty acids to maintain overall wellness and health is positively influencing the market growth. Apart from this, manufacturers are widely incorporating advanced technologies in the formulation of omega-3 ingredients to remove environmental pollutants, prevent oxidization, and provide high-temperature resistance, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, increasing product utilization in cosmetics, sun care, hair care, personal care, and colored products to achieve balanced hydration, regulate the skin’s oil production, subdue breakouts, minimize signs of aging, and soothe irritated or dermatitis skin are propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the rising product adoption in pet and animal feed and the implementation of various government entities regarding nutritional claims of omega-3 in food products, are supporting the market growth.
