Omega 3 Industry Overview

The global omega 3 market size was valued at USD 2.62 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2024 to 2030.

This is attributable to the rising use of ingredients in the human diet to support brain and heart health. Furthermore, the increasing consumer investment in healthcare and one’s well-being is also expected to boost product demand. The market is witnessing continuous diversification in its product offerings as consumers are looking for alternatives to traditional fish oil. Krill oil is one of the widely used sources of omega-3 due to its superior properties as compared to conventional fish oil. The majority of consumers in Europe and North America prefer krill oil over any other source of fish oil owing to its acid reflux, unpleasant taste, and large-sized pills. Such factors are anticipated to trigger product demand during the forecast period.
