Global Omega-3 Fatty Acid Market Size, Share, Development,
Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020
Omega-3 fatty acid is polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) containing carbon double bond in its organic structure.
These are mainly found in plants and marine life such as meat, eggs, seal oil, krill, fish, and mammalian brains
and eyes. Fish oil is the most common and widely used dietary source of omega-3 fatty acids that contains high
content of eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid (EPA/DHA). The omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty
acids for health, which the body cannot produce but are necessary for regular metabolic activities and functions.
Both the omega-3 variants are beneficial to the stress management. DHA provides neurological healthcare
benefits, whereas, EPA facilitates the stress-affected immunity. EPA also provides anti-depressive benefits to the
consumers to greater extent by lowering blood pressure disorders and heart diseases. Growing health concerns
of urban population about their fitness levels is one of the main reasons for the omega-3 fatty acid market to grow
at a significant rate.

Based on types, the global omega-3 fatty acid market can be classified as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA). Further, ALA is found in plant oils, and DHA and EPA are
found mainly in fish oils. Omega-3 fatty acid finds application in infant formula, food and beverages, nutritional
supplements, clinical nutrition, pharmaceuticals, pet food and supplements and others. Based on manufacturing
processes, global omega-3 fatty acid market can be categorized as concentration process, processing of fish oils,
decontamination and other product technologies.
The factors driving the growth of global omega-3 fatty acid market include rising demand of omega-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids in pharmaceuticals and functional foods, rising awareness towards healthcare and
chronic diseases, and expanding application profiling of omega-3. Several pharmaceutical companies have
already been using higher concentrations of omega-3 in pharmaceutical drugs, and in future, more companies are
expected to enter the market of omega-3 drugs.
The major trends observed in the global omega-3 fatty acid market is increasing consumer demand of omega-3
fatty acid products and launch of highly concentrated omega-3 pharmaceuticals in the market. Alternative sources

opportunities for the global omega-3 fatty acid market. Some of the significant factors restraining the growth of
omega-3 fatty acid market are rise in fish oil prices, absence of recommended daily intakes (RDI) standards,
lesser availability of raw material, and climatic issues in maintaining the fisheries.
