Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for algae omega 3 ingredient in 2023 is US$ 0.98 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 2.71 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 13.6%.

Algae Omega-3 ingredients are derived from marine algae that are rich in concentrated sources of specific omega-3 fatty acids, like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Omega-3 fatty acids are vital polyunsaturated fats that play important roles in various bodily functions, including supporting heart health and brain function, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, helping reduce blood pressure, and reducing inflammation. Algal oil also contains other essential fatty acids called omega-9 fatty acids. However, with technological advancements, it's now possible to extract omega-3 directly from algae, bypassing the need to go through the fish. This makes algae-derived omega-3 a more sustainable and vegan-friendly option.

Omega-3 [(n-3)] long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, are dietary fats with various health benefits. They are integrated into many body parts, such as cell membranes, and play a role in anti-inflammatory processes and affecting membrane fluidity. EPA and DHA are crucial for proper fetal growth and healthy aging. DHA is specifically abundant in the brain, and the retina is a vital component of all cell membranes. Additionally, EPA and DHA are the building blocks of several metabolites that act as potent lipid mediators, widely recognized for their potential in preventing or managing various diseases. Moreover, a shorter chain omega-3 fatty acid, α-linolenic acid (ALA),6 is a prominent component of our diet as it is found in many land plants that are commonly eaten, but it does not provide health benefits.

The rising awareness among consumers regarding the various health advantages of omega-3 fatty acids is a significant driver propelling the growth of the algae omega-3 ingredient market. There are different positive impacts on heart health, cognitive functions, and overall well-being. Omega-3 has attained widespread recognition as an essential nutrient. Its ability to alleviate the risk of cardiovascular diseases, improve brain function, and bolster overall vitality has spurred a growing demand for omega-3-rich products, thus driving market expansion. This surge in customer consciousness is further catalyzed by a prevalent trend towards holistic health and wellness, solidifying omega-3's position as a vital element of a balanced and booming lifestyle. Additionally, the diversification of products enriched with algae-based omega-3, such as supplements, fortified foods, and beverages, presents an excellent opportunity for market expansion over the forecast period. The scope for innovation is extensive, from fortified foods like cereals, dairy alternatives, and energy bars to beverages such as juices, smoothies, and nutritional drinks. Also, the supplement market, including capsules, soft gels, and powders, offers a lucrative opportunity for integrating this nutrient-rich ingredient. Moreover, the range of algae-based omega-3 allows for expansion into cosmetic and personal care products, expanding possibilities for a broader spectrum of applications beyond standard dietary supplements. However, the market faces a significant restraint due to the inconsistency in the quality of omega-3 ingredients. This inconsistency disrupts consumer trust and challenges manufacturers seeking to deliver reliable and effective products. Moreover, the occasional presence of off-tastes in omega-3 formulations further hampers their acceptability, potentially hindering customers. Additionally, the short shelf life of some omega-3 products is a limiting factor, demanding careful inventory management and leading to product wastage. Therefore, these factors are anticipated to hinder the market growth during the projection period.
