According to study published in the Nature Food Journal in November 2020, the supply, and demand gap for Omega-3 fatty acids remains substantial, nearly twice as previous estimates. The rising demand for healthy substitutes to cater to growing health-conscious population remains a key driver of growth in the omega-3 market. The supply chain also promises to stabilize in near future, as opportunities in the increasing use of by-products from fisheries, and promising initiatives to reduce food waste remains a growth factor in the Omega-3 market.
Omega-3 acids remain at the forefront of rising awareness about heart disease, and promise a healthy opportunity for reducing its risk. According to the American Heart Association, the Omega 3 reduces risk for heart diseases, and strokes, two deadly diseases plaguing the global population. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases consisting of heart disease remain the number 1 cause of deaths worldwide.
The WHO estimates that these diseases on the rise, kill nearly 18 million people each year globally. Moreover, 4 out 5 cardiovascular deaths are caused due to heart disease, and strokes. Furthermore, one-third of deaths are premature deaths as they occur in people below the age of 70. The growing awareness about heart disease, growing demand for omega-3, and large preventive potential of the fatty acids remain a major potential for growth for players in the omega 3 market.
According to a recent study published in the National Library of Medicine, growing number of researchers, health care professionals, and professional organization recommend a daily dose of 500 gm of EPA/DHA to patients. This high dosage will likely translate to over 1.3 million metric tons. However, the current human consumption amount to only a small fraction of the total demand, and results in mediocre health conditions for many patients.
However, despite growing demand for fish, the fishing at seas has reached a plateau. This has led to tremendous growth of aquaculture, and rising fish oil supply to support aquaculture. Hence, there is a growing demand to find ideal substitutes for rising demand for Omega-3 fatty acids in the market.
