Arachidonic Acid Market Analysis

Regulatory bodies have played an important role in the arachidonic acid market, as approval of the arachidonic acid has opened gateways for arachidonic acid manufacturers to tap into the market potential. For instance, in 2017, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) approved the use of DHA and arachidonic acid in infant food which encouraged dairy ingredient manufacturer Danone S.A. to launch infant formulae products containing arachidonic acid in India. Manufacturers are aiming to expand across the globe by importing rather than establishing manufacturing facilities. Similar approval by the European Commission opened gateways for Cargill Inc. to expand in Europe. The consumption of arachidonic acid is approved only in infant formulae but is not approved in any other types of foods. Currently, manufacturers across the globe are rigorously focusing on building on bioengineering and expanding applications of arachidonic acid in the food industry by overcoming safety issues.

Regional Analysis

The production and development of the arachidonic acid take place on a large scale by North America and also dominates the market in terms of consumption as well. However, the production facilities for the arachidonic acid are located at places like China, due to easy availability of raw material. North America also caters to the demand of the European arachidonic acid demand. Slow growth is anticipated in the Middle Eastern and African region due to low intake of infant formula and dietary supplements. Awareness for arachidonic acid is also low in these areas amongst food processing companies. With expansions taking place in countries like India, there is a booming demand for arachidonic acid in the Asia Pacific and a very high growth is projected in this region.
