Omega 3 ingredients are naturally occurring polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and nutrients that are imperative for optimal human health. They are widely found in fish, flaxseed, and dietary supplements, such as algal, krill refine tuna, and fish oil. Alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are some common ingredient types. Omega 3 ingredients help structure the cell walls, provide energy, and maintain the optimum functioning of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, immune system, and endocrine systems. As a result, they find extensive applications in dietary supplements, infant formulas, clinical nutrition, pet food and feed, and functional foods and beverages.
Apart from this, manufacturers are widely incorporating advanced technologies in the formulation of omega-3 ingredients to remove environmental pollutants, prevent oxidization, and provide high-temperature resistance, which is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, increasing product utilization in cosmetics, sun care, hair care, personal care, and colored products to achieve balanced hydration, regulate the skin’s oil production, subdue breakouts, minimize signs of aging, and soothe irritated or dermatitis skin are propelling the market growth. Other factors, including the rising product adoption in pet and animal feed and the implementation of various government entities regarding nutritional claims of omega-3 in food products, are supporting the market growth.
