Essential fatty acids are lipids, which are not produced by the human body and hence must be obtained from the diet. They are unsaturated fatty acids and are a special type of “good fat”. There are two primary types of essential fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6 and are required for energy production, hormone production, and cell membrane synthesis. The dietary sources of these essential fatty acids include vegetable oils, meat, fish, seeds, nuts, and some leafy vegetables. Owing to their nutritional properties, they are widely used in dietary supplement products, infant formulas, functional food & beverage products, and pharmaceuticals.

According to the World Health Organization, there is an increase in the burden of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes worldwide. In 2001, chronic diseases contributed approximately 46% of the global burden of disease and is expected to increase to 57% by 2020. Thereby, with the increase in rates of diseases, the use of essential fatty acids to manufacture pharmaceutical products has witnessed multifold growth and , thereby boosting the growth of the essential fatty acids market. Furthermore, the demand for use of natural ingredients in cosmetics by the consumers has risen. Essential fatty acids provide enriched formulations in cosmetic and personal care products such as moisturizing creams, soaps, lipsticks and other therapeutic skin preparations. This ultimately has a positive impact on the market for essential fatty acids. However, increase in the prices of fish oil, which is an important raw material for manufacturing essential fatty acid nutraceuticals hamper the growth of the market.

On the contrary, the development through scientific R&D for the essential fatty acid omega 3 has yielded newer opportunities in the healthcare sector.
