The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to propel the growth of the cod fish oil market going forward. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that develop gradually and often require continuous management to control symptoms and reduce complications. The global burden of chronic diseases is rising due to aging populations, lifestyle changes, and the growing prevalence of risk factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and environmental influences. Cod fish oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, supports the management of chronic diseases by helping reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular health. In addition, its naturally occurring vitamins A and D contribute to bone strength, immune support, and overall metabolic health. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based public health agency, about 76.4% of U.S. adults - approximately 194 million people - reported having at least one chronic condition in 2023, while 51.4% (around 130 million adults) reported multiple chronic conditions. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the cod fish oil market.

Major companies operating in the cod fish oil market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as sustainable fish oil alternatives to replace traditional salmon oil and ensure long-term supply stability. Sustainable fish oil alternatives are responsibly sourced omega-3 oils produced in ways that protect marine ecosystems, prevent overfishing, and ensure traceability and environmental stewardship. For example, in April 2024, Bering Select, a US-based fish oil manufacturer, launched wild-caught Alaskan cod liver oil for use in pet food applications. This product provides a sustainable and reliable omega-3 source as an alternative to salmon oil and is available in finished products or bulk formats. It is Marine Stewardship Council certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, and ORIVO Species Certified, ensuring transparency and quality across the supply chain. Produced through direct relationships with Alaskan fishing operations and processed at a custom facility in Dutch Harbor, the cod liver oil enhances nutritional value while supporting responsible sourcing practices.
