EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

EPA  & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market size is estimated to reach $5.28 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.81% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Omega-3 fatty acids also termed Omega-3 oils, ?-3 fatty acids, or n-3 fatty acids, are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) featured by the existence of a double bond, three atoms away from the terminal methyl group in their chemical structure. They are extensively distributed in nature, being significant components of animal lipid metabolism, and they play a vital role in the human diet and in human physiology. The three kinds of omega-3 fatty acids included in human physiology are ?-linolenic acid (ALA), discovered in plant oils, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both typically discovered in oils of marine fish. Currently, the oilseed crop has been genetically engineered to generate the long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) at levels identical to that discovered in fish oil, to offer a more sustainable source of these compounds than is prevailing from wild fish capture. Investigations including omega-3 fatty acid supplementation and pregnancy have indicated everyday intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid with either fish oil with DHA (0.5 g) and EPA (0.15 g) or with methyltetrahydrofolic acid (400 ?g), both, or placebo, from gestation week 22.

The surging inclusion of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in the everyday diet of consumers is set to drive the EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market. The soaring applications of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in food, dietary supplements, and clinical nutrition are set to propel the growth of the EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This represents the EPA & DHA Omega-3 PUFA Industry Outlook.
