Dublin, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Omega 3 Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (EPA, DHA), by Source (Marine, Plant), by Application (Supplements & Functional Foods, Infant Formula), by Region (APAC, CSA), and Segment Forecasts, 2020 - 2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global omega 3 market size is expected to reach USD 3.82 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 7.8% over the forecast period. DHA and EPA can help improve brain health in children and heart health in adults, which is likely to boost the market growth. The rising scope of applications of omega 3 in pharmaceuticals is also supporting product consumption. Players are focusing on offering high-quality pharma-grade omega 3. For instance, FMC Corp.'s Epax brand offers concentrated marine omega-3 fatty acids sourced from sustainable and traceable raw materials and caters to the requirements of high-quality pharmaceutical ingredients.
The global market is characterized by the presence of prominent players, such as BASF SE, Koninklijke DSM N.V., Lonza, and Croda International Plc, which is expected to increase the competition. Players are focusing on catering to specific client requirements to widen the customer base.
For instance, Crius Life Sciences have the formulation capacity of producing EPA/DHA with concentration level according to the client needs, such functionality offers a higher degree of freedom. Companies are utilizing krill oil as an alternative source to fish oil due to rising levels of contamination in fish oil. For instance, in November 2019, Aker BioMarine and Acasti Pharma signed a krill oil supply agreement to develop an innovative hypertriglyceridemia drug, using krill oil as its core ingredient.
