Omega-3 ingredients are highly sought after because of how well-liked they are with consumers. Omega-3 ingredient sales totalled US$ 7.4 billion in US dollars in 2023, increasing at a CAGR of 10.8% over the forecast period. By 2033, the market for omega-3 ingredients is anticipated to bring in US$ 20.6 billion.
The Food Marketing Institute reports that 44% of individuals either never eat fish or any other type of seafood or only seldom do so, leaving their diets deficient in omega-3 compaonents. This presents a fantastic potential for producers of omega-3 components to meet nutritional needs.
It is possible to extract omega-3 components from a variety of sources, including plant (chia seed oil, sunflower oil, flax seed oil, hemp, soybean oil, canola oil, primrose oil, and camelina oil) and animal (algae, fungus, fish, and krill oils). To obtain a competitive edge, manufacturers are heavily investing in the discovery of new sources of omega-3 components.
