Market Overview:
The global omega-6 fatty acid market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X%. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for omega-6 fatty acids from the food and beverage industry, rising awareness about the health benefits of omega-6 fatty acids, and growing demand for animal feed. However, factors such as stringent regulatory framework governing the use of additives in food products may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis on type, linolenic acid (LA) segment is expected to account for a major share of global omega-6 fatty acid market during forecast period. LA is an essential nutrient that helps in maintaining human health. It also helps reduce inflammation and supports cognitive function.
Product Definition:
An omega-6 fatty acid is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids are important for human health and are found in many foods.
By Components:
By components, it's meant all the elements that are involved in the manufacturing of a finished product. By products, we mean all the raw materials that are involved in producing a final product. By types of fatty acids, we refer to every element comprising of fatty acid chains and attached glycerol; whether esters or straight-chain or branched-chain.
Linolenic Acid (LA):
Linolenic acid, or oleic acid is an omega-6 essential fatty acid. It is a long-chain linear polyunsaturated fatty acids. The body cannot make linolenic acid and must be consumed in the diet. LA can be found in flaxseed oil, walnuts, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and hempseeds among others.
Application Insights:
Food and beverage was the largest application segment in 2017. Omega-6 fatty acids are used as an ingredient in manufacturing foods and beverages on a global scale owing to their ability to reduce cholesterol levels, promote weight loss, improve heart health, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation and support cell growth and development. The food processing industry is one of the major consumers of omega-6 fatty acids due to its high demand for producing shelf-stable products that can be easily stored at room temperature.
The pharmaceuticals segment is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to increasing usage of essential oils derived from plants or animals containing omega 6 & 3 polyunsaturated fats for various therapeutic purposes including antiinflammatory drugs (prescription), nutritional supplements & cosmetics (non prescription).
Regional Analysis:
North America was the largest regional market in 2017 owing to high consumption of omega-6 fatty acids from the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed sectors. The U.S., being a developed economy with higher per capita income is likely to have a greater demand for processed foods that are rich in LA and AA content. This trend is projected to continue over the forecast period as well due to growing consumer awareness about health benefits associated with these nutrients will drive industry growth over this region.
Asia Pacific on account of rapid industrialization has become one of the leading producers as well as consumers of omega-6 fatty acid products such as vegetable oils, biodiesel, nutraceuticals among others’ applications across various industries such as food processing & packaging machinery; automotive; textile manufacturing; lubricants among others’ which are expected to propel industry growth over this region during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for healthy and nutritious food products is driving the growth of Omega-6 fatty acid market.
- Rising awareness about the health benefits of Omega-6 fatty acids is propelling the growth of this market.
- Growing use of Omega-6 fatty acids in personal care and cosmetics products is fueling the growth of this market.
- Increasing research and development activities for new applications of Omega-6 fatty acids are providing impetus to this market’s growth trajectory.
