Growing Consumption of Omega-3 Supplements Among Adult Consumers
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are essential in the human diet for proper growth, development, and good health. These have been found to be particularly good for heart health, joint and inflammation support, eye health, cognitive function, pregnancy and healthy child development, and immune function, among other benefits. Algae omega-3 ingredients used in dietary supplements, with the major focus of EPA-only products, will be the future spotlight of the market in the region. Consumers are looking for new developments in omega-3 products and their focus on specific health benefits. Omega-3s also help protect adult eyes from age-related macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome.
Germany and the United Kingdom Hold a Prominent Share
Germany and the United Kingdom are the major markets for the algal-based EPA ingredients and fortified products, followed by France and Spain. Germany is the largest market for algae omega-3 ingredients, with a significant market share, followed by the United Kingdom. Moreover, the UK government has increased the recommendation of EPA and DHA in the daily diet of an adult, from 200 mg to 450 mg.
