By application, the infant formula segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR. This is due to the growing awareness among the parents to combat the deficiencies of omega-3 in the infants. Many women these days suffer from omega-3 deficiencies due to which adequate amount of EPA and DHA, which is required for infant brain development, is not passed on to the infants through breast milk. Due to these factors, the omega-3-rich infant formula is projected to grow at a higher growth rate.
Based on the source, the omega-3 market is segmented into marine and plant. The marine source of omega-3 is estimated to account for a larger share due to the large EPA and DHA content in most of the oily fishes such as salmon. Most of the manufacturers are also manufacturing marine-based omega-3 to meet the growing demand for EPA and DHA, which are not abundantly present in other plant-based sources.
