Market Trends of Asia-Pacific Omega3 PUFA Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC Omega-3 Pufa Market according to our research experts:
Increased Application in Dietary Supplements
Consumers are understanding the importance of incorporating supplements in their
regular diets. Omega-3 containing dietary supplements are proving to be a major attraction for almost every manufacturer, owing to their assistance in maintaining bone health, heart health and preventing hypertension, breast, prostate, and colon cancer, and even skin and eye-related disorders in both the geriatric as well as younger population segments. Healthcare professionals and physicians are also recommending omega-3 dietary supplements to their patients. This can be attributed to the robust growth of the omega-3 product market over the forecast period
China Holds the Maximum Share in Market
China is the largest market owing to the strong manufacturing base, increasing middle-class population, disposable income, and health awareness are fueling the consumption of EPA and DHA ingredients in China. The high birth rate and the recent abolition of the one-child policy in China are expected to fuel the demands for DHA-based ingredients for infant nutritional formulae. Infant formulae followed by dietary supplements are two major application areas in the Chinese EPA and DHA market. The dietary supplements sector in the China marketplace is expected to emerge as a lucrative application sector for EPA and DHA ingredients amid an increase in discretionary spending.
