The global polyunsaturated fatty acids market is set to grow from USD 6,686.9 million in 2025 to USD 11,422.3 million by 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period. Growth is being driven by increasing awareness of heart and cognitive health, demand for clean-label and plant-based nutrition, and expanding applications in pharmaceuticals, infant formula, and functional foods.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including omega-3 and omega-6, are essential nutrients supporting heart health, brain development, and immune function. Derived from marine sources like fish oil and algae, and plant oils such as flaxseed and chia, PUFAs are formulated into capsules, syrups, and functional foods. Their widespread use in infant nutrition, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed reflects growing global demand for holistic health and wellness solutions.
