Promise of Fish Oil to Reduce Cardiovascular Conditions and Lowering Blood Pressure Creates Demand

Fish oil, an effective nutrient derived from different species of fish, is the prime source of omega 3 fatty acids.

Escalation of omega-3 demand is also attributable to doctor prescriptions to remedy heart ailments and blood pressure problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 17.9 million people die each year due to cardiovascular diseases, contributing to 31% of all death worldwide. Thus, demand for omega 3 fortified food and beverages and dietary supplements is expected to soar over the forecast period.

Anchovies Make Big Impact

The fish oil market is segmented on the basis of source, application, and region. Based on source, the anchovy segment is expected to account for significant value share during the forecast period. Although many species are used for fish oil production, anchovies are highly valuable to major fish oil producing countries such as Peru and the USA. Furthermore, the types of species used for fish oil production vary, depending on the manufacturer. In 2015 manufacturers such as The BioMar Group, Skretting, and EWOS Group (Cargill Inc.) used 33,625 MT of anchoveta species for the manufacturing of fish oil and fishmeal.
