The global market for omega 3
is expected to reach USD 7.32 billion by 2020, according to a new study by
Grand View Research, Inc. Growing consumer awareness regarding the health
benefits associated with omega 3 coupled with rising prevalence of coronary heart
diseases are expected to drive market demand over the next six years. In
addition, growing demand from emerging applications such as infant formulas and
pharmaceuticals would further boost the growth of the market over the next six
years. Raw material procurement, consumer perception with regards to fish oil
and its smell and the lack of standardization in terms of labeling and
registration are expected to be key challenges for market participants in the
near future.
Functional foods were the largest
application segment of omega 3 ingredients in 2013, accounting for over 55% of
the global demand. Infant formulas and pharmaceuticals were other key
applications of omega 3 and are expected to have a combined market of over 2.7
billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 16.9 % and 17.5% from 2014 to 2020,
respectively. Increasing R&D in encapsulation technology offers the market
with growth opportunities over the next six years.
