Global Animal Feed DHA and EPA Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)

In Business Insights
June 17, 2025

The Global Animal Feed DHA and EPA Market is witnessing significant momentum, fueled by rising consumer awareness about omega-3 benefits in animal nutrition. According to recent industry evaluations, the market was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5%, reaching approximately USD 2.3 billion by 2032. This expansion is driven by increasing demand for premium animal-derived products and the growing emphasis on sustainable aquaculture and livestock practices worldwide.

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are increasingly incorporated into animal feed formulations to enhance animal health, improve meat and dairy quality, and boost immune responses. Particularly in aquaculture, where fishmeal alternatives are gaining traction, these omega-3 fatty acids are becoming indispensable for optimal growth and feed conversion ratios.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

Asia-Pacific leads the global market, accounting for over 45% of consumption, driven by booming aquaculture industries in China, Vietnam, and India. The region’s shift towards intensive farming practices and government initiatives promoting sustainable feed additives further accelerate demand.

Europe follows closely, with stringent regulations on animal nutrition and strong consumer preference for omega-3 enriched products. North America shows robust growth in premium pet food applications, while Latin America and Africa emerge as high-potential markets with expanding livestock production capacities.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market is propelled by several key factors:

  • Rising demand for functional animal proteins
  • Increasing aquaculture production worldwide
  • Growing awareness about animal health and nutrition
  • Expansion of premium pet food sector

Aquaculture accounts for approximately 60% of total DHA and EPA consumption in animal feed, followed by poultry at 20% and pet food at 15%. Emerging opportunities lie in algal-based omega-3 products, which offer sustainable alternatives to traditional fish oil sources and appeal to environmentally conscious producers.

Challenges & Restraints

While the market shows strong growth potential, several challenges persist:

  • High production costs of premium omega-3 products
  • Price volatility of raw materials
  • Regulatory hurdles in novel feed ingredient approvals
  • Competition from alternative nutritional additives

The relatively limited awareness among small-scale farmers in emerging economies and the need for substantial investments in research and development also pose significant barriers to market expansion.
