The rising health consciousness is expected to propel the growth of the flaxseed oil market going forward. Health consciousness refers to individuals’ awareness of and concern for their overall health and well-being, including mindful lifestyle choices related to diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. This growing focus on health is driven by increased awareness of chronic diseases, a greater emphasis on personalized nutrition, the influence of wellness trends, and a desire for longevity and improved quality of life. Flaxseed oil is rich in essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, and antioxidants. As consumers become more health-conscious, they increasingly seek foods and oils that provide nutritional benefits beyond basic sustenance. For instance, in June 2024, according to the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit organization, 54% of Americans reported following a specific diet or eating pattern over the past year. Interest in increasing protein intake rose from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023 and further to 71% in 2024, while around half of consumers aimed to eat more fresh foods, widely regarded as healthier options. Therefore, rising health consciousness is driving the growth of the flaxseed oil market.

The increasing demand for natural and organic products is also expected to propel the growth of the flaxseed oil market going forward. Natural products are made using ingredients derived from natural sources, while organic products are produced through organic farming practices and meet strict certification standards. Demand for these products is rising due to changing consumer preferences and growing awareness of health and environmental sustainability. Flaxseed oil’s nutritional value, along with its benefits for skincare and hair care, sustainability, and compatibility with organic farming, makes it a valuable ingredient in natural and organic product formulations. For instance, in May 2024, according to the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), a UK-based government statistics authority, the total area farmed organically in the United Kingdom increased from 498 thousand hectares in 2023 to 503 thousand hectares in 2024. Therefore, the rising demand for natural and organic products is driving the flaxseed oil market.
