According to the latest report from Meticulous Research®, the global lipid nutrition market is projected to reach $24.71 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9% from 2023 to 2030. This growth can be largely attributed to several key factors, including the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, an aging population, and the increasing demand for infant foods and dietary supplements. As consumers become more health-conscious, the need for lipid-based nutritional products has intensified.
Despite the promising growth outlook, the market faces challenges that may hinder its expansion. One significant constraint is the finite supply of fish oil, which is a crucial source of omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, an uncertain regulatory environment surrounding lipid nutrition can create hurdles for companies looking to innovate and expand their product offerings.
The lipid nutrition market is categorized based on various factors, including type, source, form, application, and geography. Types of lipids include omega-3 (comprising eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA], docosahexaenoic acid [DHA], and alpha-linolenic acid [ALA]), medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), omega-6, long-chain triglycerides, and omega-9. Sources are divided into marine-sourced (such as fish oil and algae oil) and plant-sourced oils (including coconut and flaxseed oil). Products are available in liquid and dry forms and serve various applications, including dietary supplements, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed.
