Fish Oil Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Anchovy Oil, Salmon Oil Tuna Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Sardine Oil, Menhaden Oil, Krill Oil and Other Product Types), Type, Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Fish Oil Market is accounted for $3.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $4.6 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. Extracted from the tissues of fatty fish, fish oil is a nutritional supplement that is high in omega-3 fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Its main benefits include lowering blood pressure and triglycerides, which promote cardiovascular health; enhancing cognitive performance and brain health; and reducing inflammation, which can help with illnesses like arthritis. Its anti-inflammatory qualities support general health. Fish oil, which is widely accessible in liquid and pill form, is a well-liked option for people looking to enhance their health by consuming natural omega-3 sources.

According to IFFO - The Marine Ingredients Organisation China is the largest producer of tilapia fish globally and exports this species to the U.S. Growing awareness about the health benefits of omega-3 in China has made the local population a prominent consumer of fish oil.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits

Consumers are using dietary supplements like fish oil as proactive measures against chronic diseases like arthritis and heart disease as a result of the rising emphasis on preventive healthcare. This trend emphasizes how important supplements are as necessary elements of a healthy way of living. Furthermore, as a result of growing awareness, fish oil is now included in functional food items, enabling customers to up their omega-3 consumption without having to make major dietary changes.

Restraint:

Competition from plant-based omega-3 sources

Conscious customers are drawn to plant-based substitutes like flaxseed and algal oil since they are less expensive than fish oil. Because fish oil products are more expensive due to sourcing and production costs, their market share is limited by this price advantage. Growing consumer preference for plant-based omega-3 sources due to their perceived ethical and sustainable credentials is a result of shifting trends in sustainability and health. Fish oil market expansion may be hampered by this change.

Opportunity:

Rising incidence of chronic diseases

Supplement sales are rising as a result of the growing demand for supplements brought on by long-term health issues like depression, arthritis, and cardiovascular illnesses. Fish oil is gaining popularity as a prophylactic, particularly among older populations who are more vulnerable to chronic illnesses. Fish oil is recognized as a vital part of a balanced diet as healthcare moves toward prevention.

Threat:

Risk of contamination

The mistrust that consumers have for fish oil supplements as a result of toxins like dioxins, PCBs, and mercury has made regulatory agencies more vigilant. Stricter regulations for fish oil manufacturing are the result of warnings from the FDA and other health groups about the hazards of contamination when consuming specific types of fish. This pressure may have an effect on manufacturers' costs and supply chains, which may lower total market demand.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the fish oil market. Initially, it caused significant disruptions in supply chains and production facilities due to lockdowns, leading to delays in sourcing raw materials and distributing products. However, there was a surge in demand for fish oil supplements as consumers sought immune-boosting products. This dual effect has created challenges in meeting heightened demand while navigating supply constraints, ultimately shaping the market dynamics during and after the pandemic

The anchovy oil segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The anchovy oil segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period owing to environmental variables such as El Niño have caused supply issues for the Peruvian anchovy fishery, leading to decreased productivity and higher costs. Fish oil supply and market prices are impacted by this scarcity. However, the demand for products based on anchovies has increased due to consumer awareness of the health advantages of omega-3 fatty acids, which has led to a surge in the popularity of anchovy oil.

The omega-3 fish oil segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The omega-3 fish oil segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increase in preventive healthcare, and omega-3 fish oil supplements are now a necessary part of everyday life. This change emphasizes fish oil as a preventative health measure as opposed to a supplement. Additionally research and development activities are focused on enhancing extraction procedures and sustainability of sourcing practices for omega-3 fatty acids to fulfill growing demand and solve environmental concerns.

Region with largest share:

North America is expected to have the largest market share over the projection period due to the expanding aquaculture sector in North America. This is because improved aquafeed nutritional profiles depend on it. Health groups in the US and Canada are pushing for increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and urging people to include fish oil in their diets by way of supplements and foods that have been fortified thus to accommodate varying dietary requirements and consumer preferences, manufacturers are expanding the range of products they offer.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest rate of growth during the forecast period due to higher disposable earnings brought about by the expanding middle class in Asia-Pacific nations enable customers to spend more on health-related goods like fish oil supplements. The need for nutritional supplements to manage chronic health disorders is also being driven by the aging population, especially in nations such as Japan. Additionally enhancing consumer confidence and driving industry expansion are sustainability initiatives and ethical fishing methods.
