Fish oil-based supplements were the dominant force in the market, capturing over 63.1% of the global revenue in 2020. The variety of fish species, each containing unique vitamins, has encouraged omega-3 supplement manufacturers to offer a diverse range of products. However, the growing concern over environmental pollutants, metals, and hazardous substances in fish has made them potentially toxic, which may hinder the growth of this segment.

Additionally, stricter regulations on fishing activities to protect fish species are expected to impact the supply of raw materials for the industry. The increasing consumer preference for plant-based alternatives is driving demand for algae oil-based supplements. Furthermore, the growing vegan population and rising consumer awareness about the benefits of these supplements are anticipated to boost the segment's growth.
