Omega-3 supplements contain EPA and DHA derived from various sources such as fish oil, krill oil, algal oil, and others.

The soft gels segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020, and the same segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Encapsulation of products into soft gels inhibits the degenerative process and uses advanced formulation methods to disguise their tastes. Soft gels are easier to swallow than capsules and tablets as they are tasteless and don't have an unpleasant odor. Improved absorption and bioavailability offered by soft gels result in instant nutrient delivery, which is a major factor driving the demand for soft gels.

Krill oil has emerged as another omega-3 supplement source rich in the long-chain PUFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid and is a sustainable source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Like fish oil, krill oil provides most of its health advantages. Therefore, the health benefits associated with krill oil is expected to bolster the demand for krill oil as an omega-3 supplement during the forecast period.

By distribution channel, the omega-3 supplements market is segmented into supermarkets and hypermarkets, specialty stores, online stores, and others. The specialty stores segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020, whereas the online retail segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period.

Consumers in the US and Canada are moving toward a healthy lifestyle and prefer products that provide health benefits, such as the prevention of macular degeneration that can lead to vision impairment and blindness, risk reduction of sudden cardiac death in persons with heart disease, reduction of blood pressure and triglycerides, and management of asthma and other health issues. These health benefits appeal to health-conscious consumers toward omega-3 supplements.
