슬관절염 유병률 증가
개인들 사이에서 슬관절염(OA)의 유병률이 증가하면서 시장 성장을 촉진하고 있습니다. 퇴행성 슬관절염은 슬관절의 연골 파괴를 특징으로 하는 퇴행성 관절 질환으로 통증, 뻣뻣함, 운동성 저하를 가져옵니다. 이 질환은 만성 통증과 염증을 유발하고 환자의 삶의 질에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 크릴오일 시장의 전망은 밝습니다. 주요 기업들은 이 문제를 가진 환자들을 위한 크릴오일 제품을 출시하고 있습니다. 예를 들어, 2024년 7월 5일, 호주 국립 과학 기관인 CSIRO가 호주의 3개 임상시험 기관에서 실시하고 스위스의 H&H Research가 후원한 연구는 경증에서 중등도의 슬관절 OA를 앓고 있는 성인에 대한 크릴오일의 효과를 조사했습니다. 조사되었습니다. 6개월에 걸친 엄격한 임상시험 결과, 스위스 고강도 심해 크릴오일(Superba(TM) BOOST 크릴오일 인지질)은 경증에서 중등도 OA를 앓고 있는 성인의 무릎 통증, 뻣뻣함, 신체 기능 개선에 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났습니다. 무릎 통증, 뻣뻣함, 신체 기능의 개선을 가져왔다는 결론을 내렸습니다.
The global krill oil market size reached USD 774.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,817.8 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.45% during 2025-2033. There are various factors that are driving the market, which include the rising focus on health and wellness due to changing lifestyles and busy schedules of individuals, increasing geriatric population, and the growing prevalence knee osteoarthritis.
Rising Focus on Health and Wellness
People are becoming more conscious about their lifestyle and seeking healthy food products. Omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil are well-known for their ability to reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. These acids benefit in improving brain function and slowing cognitive decline. This attracts consumers looking to maintain or enhance their mental sharpness. Omega-3 fatty acids are also recognized for their anti-inflammatory effects, which can help manage conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases among individuals. Furthermore, the rising focus on preventive healthcare measures is catalyzing the krill oil demand. The increasing trend of using natural and holistic health products over synthetic alternatives is propelling the market growth. As per the research report of the IMARC Group, the global health and wellness market is projected to reach US$ 5,155.6 Billion by 2032.
Increasing Geriatric Population
As people age, they become more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and it is known to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering triglycerides, reducing blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels. The rising focus on enhancing the quality of life and addressing age-related health issues is bolstering the krill oil market growth. The omega-3 fatty acids in krill oil aid in protecting against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Regular supplementation can contribute to maintaining eye health and preserving vision. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that the number of persons aged 80 years or older is expected to reach 426 million by 2050.
Growing Prevalence of Knee Osteoarthritis
The rising prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) among individuals is impelling the market growth. Knee OA is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, which leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The condition causes chronic pain and inflammation, which significantly affects the quality of life of those affected, thereby offering a positive krill oil market outlook. Key players are introducing krill products that cater to patients with this problem. For instance, on 5 July 2024, a study conducted by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, across three clinical trial sites in Australia, and sponsored by Swisse's H&H Research, investigated the effects of krill oil on adults suffering from mild to moderate knee OA. The six-month rigorously designed clinical trial concluded that Swisse High Strength Deep Sea Krill Oil (Superba(TM) BOOST krill oil phospholipids) was safe to consume and resulted in improvements in knee pain, stiffness, and physical function in adults with mild to moderate OA.
Capsules account for the majority of the market share
Capsules offer precise dosage, making it easy for consumers, especially those with knee osteoarthritis. People can easily incorporate krill oil capsules into their daily routines without worrying about measuring the correct amount. They are portable and allow consumers to maintain their supplementation schedule even when traveling or at work. Krill oil has a distinct taste and odor that some consumers find unpleasant. Capsules encapsulate the oil, masking the taste and odor, which makes them more appealing to a broader audience. They have extended shelf life, which assists in increasing krill oil market revenue for key players.
Dietary supplements hold the largest share of the industry
The increasing awareness among individuals about the importance of preventive healthcare is catalyzing the demand for dietary supplements. Consumers are proactively seeking supplements like krill oil to prevent health issues and maintain overall well-being. Dietary supplements are often used to manage chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, and cognitive decline, all of which can benefit from the omega-3 fatty acids found in krill oil. Dietary supplements offer a convenient way for consumers to ensure they are getting essential nutrients without significant changes to their diet, which is leading to a positive krill oil market forecast. Key players are also introducing new formats in supplements, which are also projected to increase the market growth.
North America leads the market, accounting for the largest krill oil market share
The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and Others); Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa (GCC Countries, Israel, South Africa, and Others). According to the report, North America represents the largest regional market for krill oil.
On 7 July 2023, Kori Pure Antarctic Krill Oil was named the best omega-3 supplement product of 2023 for North America by Optimal Health News. The rising focus on preventive healthcare measures among individuals in the North American region is propelling the market growth. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, and obesity are encouraging consumers to seek supplements like krill oil. North America has a significant aging population that is more susceptible to chronic diseases. This demographic is particularly interested in supplements that can support joint health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. As a result, these factors show krill oil market recent opportunities in the region.
