Omega-3 fatty acids can be understood as essential polyunsaturated fats essential for human health. However, some of the different types of fatty acids include DHA, EPA, and others. The growth of the market is a result of consumers being aware of health benefits associated with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). There is also a rising demand for the technological advancements of the products in order to improve bioavailability. Moreover, several manufacturers focus on exploring novel functional ingredients as well as developing innovative delivery methods for capitalizing on this trend.

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. introduced Omega 3-6-9 Gummies to fulfil Consumer’s Nutrient Requirement

In July 2021, a diversified and fully integrated wellness and health organization, Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc., introduced a new plant-based product under Forest Remedies in the market called Multi Omega 3-6-9 gummies. The key composition of these gummies is soft gels mixed with Ahiflower. The company usually focused on sustainable, plant-based, and purpose-driven lifestyle brands. The gummies introduced by the company are formulated in order to fulfil nutrient requirements for humans, further boosting consumer demand.

Rising Demand for Plant-based Raw Materials Drives Market Growth

The key factor supporting the omega-3 fatty acids market growth is the rising demand of plant-based raw materials. Such raw materials are further used in major ingredients such as infant formulas, vegan supplements, and fortified foods. In order to develop new products for the market, manufacturers develop improved purification technologies and odor-free formulations. Also, the manufacturers can also develop products that are specially designed for the infant nutrition market.

However, one of the major challenges faced by the omega-3 market is the high temperatures in the processing which affects the quality of the product.
