Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have more than one carbon bond in the molecule. Omega-3 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. These fats are essential for improving the metabolic functions of the human body. They are widely used across pharmaceuticals, infant formula, food and beverages, dietary supplement, and animal food &feed. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are compounds that have more than one unsaturated carbon bond. They are important fats that cannot be produced by the human body hence it is required to consume through food as it improves the overall metabolic process. They have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system and also help to enhance cognitive functions. Polyunsaturated fatty acids include omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. They have become an ideal replacement for saturated and trans fats, and offer numerous health benefits. PUFAs reduce triglycerides, prevent arrhythmia, lower blood pressure, control blood sugar, and reduce the risk of diabetes.

Market Dynamics

Increasing the use of PUFAs in place of saturated fat in dietary supplements and functional foods is expected to drive market growth. Growing demand for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids among consumers is also supporting the market growth of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Moreover, the growing use of PUFAs in pharmaceutical and aquaculture industries is further expected to spur the market growth of polyunsaturated fatty acids over the forecast timeframe. Partnership and agreements among major players is a current trend in the market and this trend is expected to foster market growth.
