Microalgal oil and powders are playing an increasingly important role in the global EPA and DHA omega-3 landscape. Advances in production, ingredient development and formulation are broadening the areas where algae is being used, while changing supply dynamics and the need for a diversified, reliable supply of EPA and DHA are shaping how the category fits within the wider omega-3 market.
To help explain where the category stands today and where it might be heading, GOED invited member companies active in algal omega-3s to share their perspectives on four key topics: category evolution, algae’s role in the broader market, innovation and emerging opportunities. GOED used that input to develop this four-part educational series.
The goal is to better understand how algae oil and powders are developing, the needs they can serve and the role they can play alongside other sources of EPA and DHA omega-3s.
Methodology
This series was informed by qualitative input from GOED member companies active in algal omega-3s. It is intended for educational purposes and is not a quantitative survey of the global algal omega-3 market.
