Omega-3 Market by Type (DHA, EPA, & ALA), Source (Marine & Plant), Application (Dietary Supplements, Functional Foods & Beverages, Pharmaceuticals, Infant Formulas, and Pet Food & Feed), Form, Manufacturing Technology, and Region - Global Forecast to 2030
The omega-3 market [https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/omega-3-omega-6-227.html?utm_source=prnewswire.com&utm_medium=paidpr&utm_campaign=omega-3-market] is estimated to be USD 4,362.2 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 7,756.4 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.2% from 2025 to 2030. Demand for omega-3 is projected to grow significantly as consumers become more aware of its role in supporting cardiovascular, cognitive, eye, and joint health. Unlike several other nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, cannot be synthesized efficiently by the human body, resulting in increased reliance on dietary supplements, fortified foods, and pharmaceutical-grade formulations. Omega-3 oils are highly versatile and can be incorporated into capsules, powders, beverages, and functional foods while maintaining stability and efficacy. Fish oil, krill oil, and algal-based omega-3 are the most preferred sources, backed by scientific validation of their safety and effectiveness. The growing popularity among health-conscious consumers, coupled with increasing demand for clean-label and sustainable products, is expected to further strengthen the outlook for the omega-3 market in the coming years.

Omega-3 Market Growth Drivers [https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/omega-3-market-worth-7-756-4-million-by-2030-exclusive-report-by-marketsandmarkets-302574617.html]:

* Rising Health Awareness: Increasing cases of cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders, and inflammatory conditions are fueling the demand for Omega-3 supplements. Consumers are seeking preventive healthcare solutions, positioning Omega-3 as a vital component of daily nutrition.
* Growth in Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals: Food and beverage companies are incorporating Omega-3 into products like fortified dairy, snacks, and beverages, further expanding its market reach.
* Vegetarian and Vegan Alternatives: With more consumers adopting plant-based diets, algae-based Omega-3 products are gaining popularity as sustainable alternatives to fish oil.
* Technological Advancements: Enhanced extraction and purification methods have improved the quality and bioavailability of Omega-3 supplements, boosting consumer trust and adoption.

By type, DHA segment to exhibit fastest growth rate during forecast period

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid (PUFA), is widely distributed throughout the body and has emerged as the leading type segment in the omega-3 market. It serves as a significant structural fat present in both the brain and eye, constituting as much as 97% of the total omega-3 fats in the brain and up to 93% in the retina. The main sources of DHA are fish, fish oils, dairy products, and specialty eggs, with marine sources such as salmon and tuna being particularly rich. Farmed salmon contains about 1.24 g of DHA, and wild salmon about 1.22 g of DHA.

Additionally, DHA is a crucial component of cardiac tissue and is also commonly referred to as 22:6(n-3). Direct consumption of DHA is necessary to effectively increase fatty acid levels in the body, and optimal intake is crucial for both infant brain development and normal adult brain function. Epidemiological research further associates healthy DHA intake with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, as DHA improves communication between nerve cells and membranes by enhancing fluidity. Its critical role in visual and neurological development in infants, coupled with widespread applications in infant nutrition, dietary supplements, and functional foods, has solidified DHA as the dominating segment within the omega-3 market. The growing demand from both developed and emerging economies ensures that DHA continues to hold a substantial market share compared to other omega-3 types, such as EPA and ALA.

By application, infant formulas segment to record highest CAGR during forecast period

The infant formulas segment is anticipated to grow at a significant rate in the omega-3 market due to the rising recognition of DHA's crucial role in infant brain and eye development. DHA, often referred to as the "brain-building" omega-3, is recommended by leading health authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for inclusion in infant nutrition. With an increasing number of working mothers and a higher reliance on formula feeding, demand for fortified infant formulas containing DHA and EPA has surged worldwide. Manufacturers are consistently innovating by introducing premium formulas that mimic the fatty acid composition of human breast milk, further boosting adoption. Regulatory mandates in many regions, such as the EU's requirement since 2020 for DHA inclusion in all infant formula and follow-on formula products, have led to the European Union (EU) implementing new regulations, effective February 22, 2021, regarding the recommended DHA supplementation in healthy diets. These regulations mandate that all infant formula and follow-on formula available for purchase within the EU must contain a minimum of 20 mg/100 kcal (or 4.8 mg/100 kJ) and a maximum of 50 mg/100 kcal (or 128 mg/100 kJ) of DHA, which is accelerating market growth. In addition, growing consumer preference for organic and clean-label formulas, along with strong demand in emerging economies driven by rising birth rates and improved purchasing power, is expected to fuel the segment's expansion during the forecast period.

Europe to account for significant share in global omega-3 market

Europe is expected to hold a significant share of the omega-3 market, driven by a robust regulatory framework, high consumer awareness, and a growing preference for preventive healthcare. Additionally, European consumers show a higher inclination toward premium dietary supplements and clean-label products, fostering demand for sustainable fish oil and plant/algal-based omega-3 alternatives. The presence of major global players, continuous research and development initiatives, and widespread adoption of fortified foods and beverages further strengthen Europe's dominance. Moreover, increasing vegetarian and flexitarian populations in countries such as Germany, the UK, and France are accelerating the demand for algal-derived omega-3, ensuring steady market growth across the region. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), micronutrients present in omega-3s even benefit eye and brain health, which has led to heavy focus and a surge in consumption among Europeans. Companies such as Pelagia AS (Norway), Corbion (Netherlands), and dsm-firmenich (Netherlands) are the key players that are highly focused on catering to the demand for omega-3-based products in the European region. In 2023, several recent advancements were observed in the omega-3 market within the European region. Corbion (Netherlands) launched a new product, AlgaVia, whereas Pelagia AS (Norway) invested in its production facility to increase the output of the omega-3 concentrates.

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has had a significant impact on the omega-3 market in the European region, as its studies emphasize that omega-3 consumption helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases. European omega-3 manufacturers are investing in omega-3 applications, such as dietary supplements, functional food & beverages, and pharmaceuticals. BASF SE (Germany) offers microencapsulated omega-3 powder with more shelf life to cater to the European demand. Furthermore, the rise in consumer awareness has prompted manufacturers to follow and adhere to European regulations, which is projected to drive growth in Europe.

The report profiles key players such as BASF SE (Germany), Cargill, Incorporated (US), dsm-firmenich (Netherlands), ADM (US), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), Aker BioMarine (Norway), Croda International plc (UK), Corbion (Netherlands), Pelagia AS (Norway), KD Pharma Group SA (Switzerland), GC Rieber (Norway), Cooke Aquaculture Inc. (Canada), GOLDEN OMEGA (Chile), Polaris (France), Btsa (Spain), KinOmega Biopharm Inc. (China), Rimfrost AS (Norway), Mara Renewables (Canada), Cellana Inc. (US), AlgaeCytes Limited (UK), and others.

Recent Developments in the Omega-3 Industry [https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/omega-3.asp?utm_source=prnewswire.com&utm_medium=paidpr&utm_campaign=omega-3-market]:

July 2025: Corbion received regulatory approval in China for its algae-based omega-3 solutions, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy. These omega-3 ingredients, derived from microalgae, are designed for use in nutritional supplements, functional foods, and beverages, offering a sustainable and plant-based alternative to traditional fish oil. The approval enables Corbion to enter one of the world's largest and fastest-growing markets for health and wellness products, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility in the nutraceutical sector.

April 2025: Epax, a subsidiary of Pelagia AS, launched EPAX Evolve 05, the world's first commercially available VLC-PUFA (Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid) product. VLC-PUFAs are a unique class of omega-3 fatty acids with promising benefits for vision, skin health, male fertility, bone density, and muscle strength, especially in the context of healthy aging.

March 2025: Nordmann (Germany) partnered with Aker BioMarine to distribute its marine-based health products, superba krill oil, revervia algae oil, and pl+, across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. These products are rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support heart and liver health. Superba krill oil delivers omega-3s in phospholipid form for better absorption, while revervia offers the highest natural concentration of DHA omega-3 from algae. This strategic collaboration aims to expand access to sustainable, high-quality omega-3 supplements in Central Europe.

Future Outlook

The Omega-3 market is projected to maintain strong growth over the coming years, with increasing opportunities in plant-based alternatives, personalized nutrition, and infant nutrition segments. Companies are expected to invest in research, product innovation, and sustainable sourcing practices to meet consumer demand and strengthen market presence.
