added a new market research report:
Global Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid
Ingredients Market
https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/2241891/Global-Omega-3-and-Omega-6-Polyunsaturated-Fatty-Acid-Ingredients-Market.html
Focus on the Impact of Microalgae Feedstock on the Supply and
Demand for Omega-3 and Omega-6 Ingredients
This study covers the state of the global omega-3 ingredients
market in terms of market size, growth, competitive environment,
and the key challenges facing omega-3 ingredient suppliers in 2012
and 2013. Microalgae-based omega-3 ingredients are also examined in
depth, and the market growth for each segment is forecasted. The
base year is 2012 with forecasts up to 2023. This study is further
divided into product type and species-specific omega-3 EPA/DHA
ingredient market analyses.
Executive Summary
-The global omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)
ingredients market continues to be in the development stage (late
growth) of its product life cycle.
-In 2012, total market revenue was € million; it is expected to
reach € million in 2023, growing at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of %.
-The European and US omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA ingredients market is
more advanced, and specific segments have reached maturity.
Although the global market is growing at a fast rate, each segment
has its own unique characteristics.
-The global market is fragmented with a number of participants
active in each segment.
-Omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA ingredients are used in many industries.
More than % of PUFA ingredients consumed in the United States are incorporated into
dietary supplements, either separately or in combination with other
ingredients.
Market Overview - Introduction
The omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA ingredients market has a multilayered
industry structure. The structure starts with the raw material
supplier. The actual competition begins at the next level: the oil
extractor or the PUFA ingredient supplier. At this stage, the PUFA
oil may be further refined depending on the specific needs of the
manufacturer. PUFA ingredients are then traded through distributors
or regional offices to supplement, food, or beverage manufacturers.
Finally, they reach the consumer in PUFA-enriched products. The
market is continually facing competition from other nutritional
ingredients; however, the wide range of health benefits offered by
PUFA ingredients is unmatched. The challenge is to sustain
popularity and consumer interest in omega-3 fatty acids.
Globally, the incidence of chronic degenerative diseases (CDD) has
increased. In the United States
especially, the number of people suffering from or more of these
chronic disorders is rising, and cardiovascular diseases are often
the cause of death. The attention of the media, as well as the
scientific community, has shifted to food ingredients that have the
potential to fight CDDs.
The PUFA market is exemplary of a science- and research-driven
market. Specifically, omega-3 fatty acids are among the most
extensively researched ingredients in the food and beverage
industry. Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the only essential
fatty acid (EFA), and the parent molecule of the other long-chain
omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). "Essential" denotes the molecule's
inability to be produced in the human body, so it must be acquired
through diet. The main sources of omega-3 PUFAs are cold-water
fish, algae, and flaxseeds. Flaxseed is a vegetarian source of the
short chain omega-3 ALA, whereas marine sources are rich in EPA and
DHA. The consumption of fish has decreased in the American diet;
omega-3 fatty acid deficiency has become common. EPA and DHA have
important roles to play in the promotion of health.
Market Overview - Definitions
-This aim of this study is to provide an overview of the omega-3
and omega-6 PUFA ingredients market and describe the challenges and
opportunities that manufacturers will face during the forecast
period given the emergence of microalgae as a competitive feedstock
source.
-The end application scope of this study includes dietary
supplements, food & beverage, infant formula, animal feed, and
other minor applications.
-The geographic scope of this study is global and includes the
following regions:
oNorth America
oEurope
oChina
oJapan
oRest of Asia-Pacific
oRest of World
-The base year is 2012, with forecasts to 2023.
-Volume is measured in metric tons.
-All prices are in euros.
-Prices are weighted averages for all ingredients in a given
category and a given end application.
