REPORT DESCRIPTION
According to a market study published by Transparency Market Research on the global fish oil market, the
said market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.05% between 2012 and 2018. If the figure holds true,
the market’s valuation of US$1.1 bn in 2011 will reach US$1.7 bn by 2018. The title to this report is “Global
Fish Oil Market - Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018.”
Derived from the tissues of oily fish, fish oil is taken as a general health supplement as a source of omega3 fatty acids. Fish oil is commonly used to refer to two types of omega-3 fatty acids – docosahexaenoic
acid and eicosapentaenoic acid. Fish oil is the recommended source of omega-3 fatty acids due to its easy
availability and low cost.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that are needed for normal body functioning. Flax seed, fish, and
algae are the common sources of omega-3 fatty acids, of which fish oil is a major commercially available
source. Thus, increasing awareness regarding the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, which has in turn
resulted in increasing direct human consumption (DHC) of fish oils, is driving the global fish oil market. On
the contrary, stagnated production of fish oil is detrimental to this market’s growth.
By application, aquaculture, direct human consumption, and others including industrial uses and
hydrogenation are the segments of this market....
