“Increasing Adoption of Plant-Based Sources of Omega-3”
The microalgae docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) market is witnessing a significant trend towards plant-based sources of omega-3, driven by increasing consumer demand for sustainable and vegan-friendly products. As awareness of the health benefits of DHA grows, more consumers are opting for plant-based omega-3 supplements, particularly in regions such as North America and Europe. This trend is spurred by concerns over the environmental impact of traditional fish oil production and the growing popularity of plant-based diets. Companies such as Nordic Naturals and Corbion are capitalizing on this demand by expanding their portfolios to include microalgae-based DHA supplements and fortified foods. Microalgae DHA is becoming a key ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods, and even cosmetics, as consumers seek natural, clean-label products that support brain health, heart health, and overall wellness. This shift toward plant-based omega-3s is expected to accelerate market growth, with sustainability and plant-based nutrition emerging as central drivers in the industry's future.
