Drivers

Algal DHA and ARA are gaining traction in the market owing to the various health benefits it offers. Consumption of DHA and ARA reduces aging and improves brain, gastrointestinal, and heart health. Therefore, health benefits offered by DHA- and ARA-based products are propelling demand for DHA and ARA enriched food and beverages all over the world, which in turn is driving growth of algal DHA and ARA in the food & beverages industry.
