Omega-3 Supplements Global Market Report 2025

The omega-3 supplements market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.79 billion in 2024 to $9.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth during the historical period is due to greater awareness of heart health, increasing consumer inclination toward dietary supplements, a surge in chronic disease prevalence, nutraceutical industry growth, and heightened health consciousness among the aging population.

The omega-3 supplements market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period will be driven by increased fish oil consumption, broader access through online sales platforms, a rising number of vegan and vegetarian consumers, higher incorporation in infant nutrition products, and official dietary recommendations for omega-3 intake. Prominent trends expected in the market include a transition toward algae-sourced omega-3 supplements, emphasis on clean labeling and ingredient transparency, the introduction of omega-3 combination products, the rise of premium omega-3 offerings, and the availability of flavored omega-3 liquids.

The growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is anticipated to drive the expansion of the omega-3 supplements market in the coming years. Cardiovascular diseases encompass a range of conditions that impact the heart and blood vessels. This increase in prevalence is primarily attributed to the widespread adoption of unhealthy lifestyles, such as diets high in saturated fats and sugars, physical inactivity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Omega-3 supplements are commonly utilized in managing cardiovascular conditions due to their ability to lower triglyceride levels, reduce blood pressure, combat inflammation, and support overall heart health. For example, in December 2024, the American Heart Association, Inc., a U.S.-based national health agency, reported that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the United States is projected to grow from 11.3% to 15% of the population by 2050, affecting around 45 million adults. As a result, the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases is significantly contributing to the growth of the omega-3 supplements market.
