South America Lipid Market Analysis
The South American lipid market is projected to witness a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period (2020-2025).
The market is primarily driven by the rising awareness regarding the nutritional and functional importance of lipids, and the rising demand for lipid nutrition in fortified food, pharmaceuticals, infant formula, animal nutrition, and dietary supplements.
By product type, the omega 3 and omega 6 segment is the dominating market, owing to the advancement in technologies, such as microencapsulation to serve pharmaceuticals and other industries that have led to the increase in the demand for capsules, oils, and functional foods containing omega-3 acids.
However, chronic diseases associated with lipids, such as heart diseases, diabetes, and cancers, and lipid oxidation and degradation lead to loss of functional properties, nutritional value, and formation of toxic substances, diminishing the shelf life and organoleptic properties of food products. These are the major restraints impeding the growth of the market studied.
