Arachidonic Acid Global Market Report 2024

The arachidonic acid market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.42 billion in 2023 to $5.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to several factors, including heightened awareness of health benefits, a rise in birth rates along with more working mothers, positive regulatory approvals and safety endorsements, enhanced public and scientific comprehension, and rapid urbanization.

The arachidonic acid market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The forecasted growth can be linked to various factors, such as the escalating incidence of lifestyle-related disorders, a rising demand for sports supplements, expanding regulatory acceptance for oil-based arachidonic acid (ara) products, growing pharmaceutical industry demand, and a growing geriatric population. Key trends in this period encompass swift technological advancements, inventive solvent-based product ranges, technological progress in production methods, strategic partnerships and collaborations, and increased endorsements and recommendations.

The arachidonic acid market is poised for growth due to the increasing popularity of functional foods. These foods, known for their health benefits beyond basic nutrition, are gaining traction among consumers seeking to prevent disease and improve well-being. Arachidonic acid plays a crucial role in functional foods, especially in promoting healthy brain development and regulating inflammatory responses, commonly found in infant formulas and nutritional supplements. Notably, in March 2023, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) reported that fortified or functional (FF) packaged food products, accounting for 40.3% of the health and wellness (HW) foods and beverages market, achieved the highest sales value at US$11.7 billion. This trend underscores the significant impact of functional foods on driving the arachidonic acid market's growth.

The arachidonic acid market is expected to benefit from increased spending on sports nutrition. As interest in sports nutrition grows, fueled by its perceived role in enhancing athletic performance and overall health, arachidonic acid finds applications in supporting muscle growth, improving performance, and aiding in post-exercise recovery through its modulation of inflammation and muscle protein synthesis. For instance, in June 2023, Development Initiatives (DI) noted a rise in nutrition-sensitive health spending and programs, with nutrition-sensitive health spending increasing from 10% to 11% and nutrition-specific health spending rising from 7% to 11%. This upward trend in spending underscores the potential impact on driving the arachidonic acid market forward.

Arachidonic acid, an essential polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, plays crucial roles in physiological functions such as maintaining cell membrane integrity and fluidity. It serves as a precursor to eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, which are key players in cellular signaling and immune responses.

There are two primary forms of arachidonic acid, solid and solvent. Solid arachidonic acid denotes the crystalline or powdered form used across various sectors. Its sources range from animals to plants, and its applications include food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed. These applications cater to both human consumption and industrial needs.
