Omega-3 Market Forecast 2035:
According to the latest report, the global Omega-3 Market is projected to grow from USD 2.8 Billion in 2025 to USD 6.1 Billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

Growing consumer focus on preventive health care, rising awareness of cardiovascular and cognitive health, and the shift toward sustainable and vegan-friendly sources are key factors driving market expansion.

In March 2024, FrieslandCampina Ingredients launched Biotis DHA FlexPowders, a plant-based algal DHA product with built-in vitamin C for immune support, targeting vegan and flexitarian consumers. This innovation underscores the clean-label and sustainability movement shaping the future of the omega-3 market.

Furthermore, advanced encapsulation technologies and higher-purity omega-3 formats are driving adoption in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and clinical nutrition, ensuring better taste, bioavailability, and stability.

Key Driver, Restraint, and Growth Opportunity Shaping the Global Omega-3 Market
Driver - Rapid Growth of Algal-Based Omega-3 Solutions
The shift from fish oil to algal-based EPA and DHA is accelerating as consumers seek sustainable, allergen-free, and eco-conscious alternatives.

In October 2024, DSM-Firmenich introduced Life's DHA B54-0100, featuring 545 mg DHA and 80 mg EPA per gram with improved taste and no fishy aftertaste.

Plant-based omega-3 demand continues to rise, with 62% of consumers globally preferring sustainable, vegan options, according to MarketGenics research.

Restraint - Supply Volatility and Price Fluctuations
The omega-3 market remains heavily dependent on marine-based sources, which face environmental and regulatory challenges.

In late 2024, restrictions on North Atlantic fisheries caused raw fish oil prices to rise by 25%, directly impacting production costs.

While algal omega-3s offer an alternative, production remains cost-intensive and regionally constrained, posing scalability challenges.

Opportunity - Personalized and Targeted Health Solutions
Customized omega-3 blends for specific health conditions such as heart health, cognitive support, and eye care present a major growth avenue.

In April 2025, DSM-Firmenich launched Life's OMEGA O3020, designed for smaller capsules and Chews to meet the growing demand for premium, personalized supplementation.

These formulations allow brands to differentiate in a crowded market and command premium pricing.

Impact of Sustainability Trends on Omega-3 Market
The growing emphasis on marine ecosystem conservation and avoidance of heavy metal contamination has led to a surge in plant-based omega-3 production.

Companies like Corbion and DSM-Firmenich are investing heavily in high-purity algal DHA/EPA technologies, making vegan omega-3 products increasingly mainstream.

Nordic Naturals expanded its plant-based omega-3 line on Amazon in April 2024 to cater to vegan and eco-conscious consumers in North America.
