Market Trends of North America Lipid Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Lipid Market according to our research experts:
Rising Awareness on the Nutritional Importance of lipids
The growing awareness regarding the nutritional and functional importance of lipids is primarily driving the market studied. Dietary lipids (mainly triacylglycerols) are the concentrated dietary source of fuel, contributing to 15-50% of the body energy requirements. The vital role that lipids play in the enrichment of the body and sustaining health cannot be replicated by any other class of nutrients.
Furthermore, Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the dietary importance of lipids. A certain class of functional lipids is gradually recognized for providing enhanced physiological benefits and/or reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional functions, which in turn boosting the market studied.
Omega 3 & Omega 6 holds a Prominent Share in the Market Studied
Omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential fatty acids that must be derived from the diet (it cannot be produced by man), and other mammals, because of the lack of endogenous enzymes for omega-3 desaturation. Moreover, EPA and DHA have numerous scientifically proven health benefits, which make them the preferred omega fatty acids. Linoleic acid accounts for 85-90% of dietary omega-6 fatty acids. The risk of developing type-2 diabetes could be significantly reduced by eating a diet, rich in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, which in turn boosting the Omega-6 and omega-3 growth during the forecast period.
