What is Fish Oil?

Fish Oil is a virtually unique source of natural long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, and DPA. It is derived from the tissue of fatty fish such as trout, mackerel, tuna, herring, sardines, and salmon. This report focuses on crude fish oil, which is obtained at the beginning of the fishmeal production process. In this process, anchovies are pressed to separate the solids, which will later become fishmeal. The fatty material is then stored in tanks, preserving optimal levels of oxidation and freshness. Fish oil is highly valued in the market for its high nutritional content of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the proper functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

This report provides a deep insight into the global Fish Oil market covering all its essential aspects from a macro overview of the market to micro details such as market size, competitive landscape, development trends, niche markets, key drivers and challenges, SWOT analysis, and value chain analysis.

Key Market Drivers

1. Growing Awareness and Diagnosis of Rare Phototoxic and Pigmentary Disorders The increasing recognition and diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) a condition estimated to affect approximately 1 in 74,300 individuals globally has been a critical catalyst for market growth. A pivotal New England Journal of Medicine study (2015) demonstrated that Afamelanotide can extend sunlight tolerance in EPP patients from an average of 40 minutes to over 6 hours, significantly reducing pain episodes and hospitalizations. Such compelling efficacy data continues to strengthen clinical adoption and patient demand.

2. Expanding Clinical Pipeline Across Dermatological and Neurological Applications Beyond EPP, Afamelanotide is advancing through an expanding pipeline targeting multiple dermatological and neurological disorders. Early clinical investigations have shown encouraging outcomes in:

• Vitiligo – When combined with narrowband UVB therapy, Afamelanotide has demonstrated promising repigmentation benefits.
• Polymorphic Light Eruption (PMLE) and Solar Urticaria – Ongoing trials indicate potential in mitigating light-induced inflammatory reactions.
• Neurological Indications – Exploratory studies are underway for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and ACTH-related adrenal dysfunctions.

These diversified research efforts highlight Afamelanotide’s potential as a platform therapy that modulates melanocortin receptors, offering therapeutic relevance across both dermatologic and systemic diseases.

Market Challenges

• High Cost of Therapy – With annual treatment expenses estimated between USD 100,000 and 120,000 per patient, affordability and reimbursement remain major barriers, particularly outside developed markets.
• Limited Accessibility in Emerging Economies – Insufficient reimbursement frameworks, regulatory delays, and low disease awareness hinder access in low- and middle-income countries.
• Complex Regulatory Pathways – Approval for new indications demands robust, long-term clinical evidence, necessitating significant investment and extended development timelines.

Emerging Opportunities

The global healthcare landscape is becoming increasingly favorable for orphan drug development and commercialization. Growing patient advocacy, supportive policy frameworks, and strategic industry collaborations are accelerating market expansion, especially in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Key growth enablers include:

• Strengthened orphan drug regulations and incentives
• Expansion of clinical research infrastructure and trial networks
• Formation of strategic alliances with regional distributors, healthcare institutions, and academic partners

Collectively, these factors are expected to enhance accessibility, stimulate innovation, and drive Afamelanotide’s penetration across new geographies and indications.
