Algae oil is an animal-free source of omega-3 fatty acids, which includes eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It aids in lowering cholesterol, reducing inflammation, minimizing the risk of stroke, and promoting vision among people with retinitis pigmentosa. As it contains significant amounts of minerals and vitamins, it is utilized along with other fatty acids for fortifying baby and infant formulas. It is also used as a stabilizing agent in the production of ice creams, pet food, and other food supplements.
Algae Oil Market Trends:
Rising awareness among individuals about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and promoting low triglyceride levels, represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Moreover, as omega-3 fatty acids usually come from animal sources, the increasing inclination of consumers towards a vegetarian-based diet is contributing to market growth. Apart from this, several food manufacturers are offering juices, milk, yogurts, cooking oils, nutrition bars, salad dressings, marinades, and other products fortified with algae oil. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for these food products on account of the growing health consciousness among individuals, is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, algae oil is employed in the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture DHA-based capsules. The growing prevalence of macular degeneration, which is an age-related vision loss disorder, along with the rising geriatric population, is driving the demand for these capsules to relieve intraocular pressure. Apart from this, governing agencies of numerous countries are implementing stringent policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and achieve energy conservation. This is anticipated to expand the application of algae oil as a sustainable renewable fuel in the transport sector.
