Dietary Supplements Leading the Way:

During the forecast period, the dietary supplements segment is expected to dominate the omega-3 market. Despite natural sources of omega-3 in various food products, consumers are turning to supplements for a more regulated and convenient intake. Capsules offer an easy way to ensure the daily recommended amount of omega-3 is met, contributing to the segment's projected market dominance.

Marine Sources Taking Center Stage:

The marine source of omega-3, found in oily fish like salmon and tuna, is projected to hold the largest market share. The high content of EPA and DHA in these marine sources has driven manufacturers to meet the growing demand for these essential fatty acids. Marine-based omega-3 products are preferred due to their abundance of EPA and DHA, which are not as readily available in plant-based sources.

DHA Leading the Omega-3 Market:

Within the omega-3 market, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is expected to maintain its leading position. DHA's cognitive benefits have garnered significant consumer attention, especially for infant brain development and the normal functioning of adult brains. Its popularity makes DHA a favored type of omega-3 in the market.
