Docosahexaenoic acid is being used more frequently across a variety of industries as a result of the rise in the number of health-conscious people. Docosahexaenoic acid is increasingly being consumed globally, which is fostering market expansion. Because of the multiple advantages it offers in terms of disease prevention and treatment, docosahexaenoic acid use and production have expanded.

The market for docosahexaenoic acid as a whole benefit from the rising usage of health supplements in daily diet. The primary barrier to growth in the worldwide docosahexaenoic acid market is the lack of suitable replacements. Furthermore, negative side effects like foul breath, bad taste, headaches, and others discourage people from using docosahexaenoic acid-based goods.

Market Dynamics

The Global Docosahexaenoic Acid Market is Being Driven by its Health Benefits.

DHA is associated with plenty of health benefits. DHA levels in the brain are known to decrease with age and are linked to the start of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. Cardiovascular disease is the main killer in Western countries. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which claim an estimated 17.9 million lives annually, are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, according to the WHO report 2021.

Coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, and other illnesses are among the category of heart and blood vessel disorders known as CVDs. Heart attacks and strokes account for more than four out of every five CVD deaths, and one-third of these deaths happen before the age of 70. Due to the prevalence of heart diseases, consumers are opting for DHA supplements, which is driving the DHA market growth.

Growing Importance of DHA among Breastfeeding Mothers and Pregnant Women

Women who are expecting or nursing should take at least 200 mg of DHA daily. The current suggestion may be too low, according to a recent study. According to Stoutjesdijk et al., women should eat 535 + 215mg DHA+EPA per day during the third trimester and 715 + 285mg DHA+EPA per day during the first month of breastfeeding in order to ensure that the newborn has access to the optimum concentrations of LCPUFAs.

Importantly, obtaining these amounts of LCPUFAs can be accomplished simply by eating the necessary 10 oz (2–3 meals) of fish each week. However, not many Americans consume as much fish. The weekly average for Americans is only 4 oz, which is less than half the advised quantity.6 Additionally, the most popular types are low in LCPUFAs.

The Overconsumption of DHA Leads to Many Health Issues, which is Hindering the Market Growth.

DHA has anti-inflammatory characteristics, which is one of the reasons it may be good for inflammation and heart health. However, the researchers noted that excessive DHA can occasionally change immune function in ways that may cause an ineffective immune response to a bacterial or viral infection. The body's capacity to combat microbial infections like bacteria can be impacted by an immune system that isn't functioning properly due to excessive DHA ingestion.
