Market Highlights

Market Size Growth: USD 5.0 billion in 2024 → USD 8.5 billion in 2034 (CAGR 5.40%).
Largest Product Segment: Omega-3 fatty acids, supported by strong clinical evidence of cardiovascular and cognitive health benefits.
Fastest-Growing Product Segment: Omega-6 fatty acids, gaining traction in the food and beverage sector due to their role in heart health and healthy cooking oils.
Largest Application Segment: Dietary supplements, expected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2034.
Fastest-Growing Application Segment: Functional foods, projected to nearly double in size by 2034.
Regional Leaders: North America remains the largest market, while Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing, driven by urbanization and rising disposable incomes.

Key Market Drivers

The global health and wellness movement is the leading force behind this market’s growth. Consumers are increasingly turning to supplements and functional foods to maintain healthy lifestyles. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce cardiovascular disease risk by 25%, further encouraging adoption.

Public policies are also providing momentum. In 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture allocated USD 500 million to support organic farming, ensuring a steady supply of plant-based raw materials for unsaturated fatty acid production. Product innovation continues to make an impact as well. In 2024, BASF SE launched a high-purity Omega-3 supplement line that captured 15% of the market share within six months.

Market Restraints

Despite positive growth, the industry faces hurdles. Regulatory approvals remain complex and expensive, especially in regions such as the European Union, where novel food regulations can cost companies more than €300,000. Smaller businesses, in particular, struggle with these barriers.

Supply chain disruptions are another concern. The global supply of Omega-3 fatty acids is concentrated in South America, with over 70% sourced from fish oil. Environmental regulations and fishing quotas may restrict supply, raising costs and limiting availability. The International Trade Centre reported a 20% rise in logistics costs in 2023, further pressuring margins.
