Omega-3 prescription drugs work by reducing triglyceride levels in the bloodstream and increasing the levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol. These essential fatty acids, derived from food or supplements, play a crucial role in nurturing a healthy body and are integral in the construction of cell walls throughout the body.
Omega-3 prescription drugs primarily comprise vascepa, lovaza, and other variants. Vascepa specifically targets reducing heart attack, stroke, and select cardiovascular conditions requiring hospitalization in adults. Approved by the FDA, Vascepa aims to mitigate the risk of specific cardiovascular issues in adults with elevated triglyceride levels and multiple additional risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, or obesity. These omega-3 prescription drugs find application in managing hypertriglyceridemia and various other conditions. Their distribution channels include hospital pharmacies, retail outlets, and online pharmacies.

The growth observed in the historical period can be credited to heightened health awareness, advancements in clinical research, a focus on cardiovascular health, medical recommendations, and improved management of chronic diseases.
The omega 3 prescription drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.37 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the broadened scope of indications, changing consumer preferences, the emergence of targeted health solutions, the adoption of personalized medicine, and the expansion of clinical evidence. Key trends in the forecast period encompass the rise of personalized health solutions, the extension of health conditions addressed, the introduction of innovative formulations, increased popularity of health supplements, and the widespread use of health apps and wearables.
The escalating prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is poised to significantly contribute to the expansion of the omega-3 prescription drug market. Elevated levels of blood triglycerides, a lipid-such as substance, are strongly correlated with increased risks of cardiovascular disorders. Omega-3 supplements play a crucial role in regulating and reducing these triglyceride levels, thereby mitigating the risk of CVDs. The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) report highlighted a staggering statistic, indicating an estimated 17.9 million fatalities attributed to CVDs, accounting for 32% of global deaths. Of these, heart attacks and strokes accounted for 85% of the causes. Consequently, the burgeoning incidence of cardiovascular diseases emerges as a pivotal driver propelling the growth trajectory of the omega-3 prescription drug market.
The expanding population grappling with obesity stands poised to significantly contribute to the growth of the omega-3 prescription drug market. Obesity, characterized by an abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat, poses considerable health risks to individuals. Omega-3 prescription drugs serve as essential tools in managing specific conditions associated with obesity and enhancing overall health, thereby aiding in weight management endeavors. A report from the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2022 highlighted alarming statistics, indicating that over 1 billion individuals worldwide are presently classified as obese, comprising 650 million adults, 340 million adolescents, and 39 million children. Moreover, projections indicate a troubling trend, with an estimated 167 million individuals-both adults and children-expected to experience deteriorating health due to being overweight or obese by 2025. Consequently, the escalating population grappling with obesity emerges as a driving force behind the growth trajectory of the omega-3 prescription drug market.
The omega-3 prescription drug market is witnessing a surge in the adoption of new product innovations as a prominent trend. Leading companies engaged in the manufacturing of omega-3 drugs are strategically focusing on the development of novel products to fortify their market positions. A significant milestone occurred in October 2022 when the European Commission approved plant-based omega-3 products from DSM for use as substitutes for fish and animal-derived sources across the EU. DSM asserts that these products bolster the nutritional profile of plant-based foods while facilitating the creation of fish-such as products derived from animals. This omega-3 supplement serves as a means to augment the nutritional content of various goods without adversely impacting the marine ecosystem.
Major players within the omega-3 prescription drug market are strategically concentrating on product launches, particularly capsules designed to reduce the body's production of triglycerides. Capsules, recognized as pharmaceutical or dietary supplement dosage forms, feature a shell, usually composed of gelatin or a similar substance, encapsulating a precise quantity of medication, nutrients, or other active ingredients for convenient ingestion. A notable example occurred in March 2023 when Hikma Pharmaceuticals, a multinational pharmaceutical company headquartered in England specializing in generic and in-licensed pharmaceutical products, introduced the Icosapent Ethyl Capsules, 0.5g, in the US market. This product is specifically indicated for lowering triglyceride levels in adults afflicted with severe hypertriglyceridemia, containing eicosatetraenoic acid (EPA), acknowledged for its efficacy in reducing triglycerides. This launch marks an innovation in the market, catering to the needs of addressing severe hypertriglyceridemia and meeting the escalating demand for pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 products. It aligns harmoniously with the market's heightened focus on delivering effective therapies for conditions such as elevated triglyceride levels.
In August 2021, Woodward Pharma Services, a prominent U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, successfully acquired Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) capsules from GlaxoSmithKline for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Woodward Pharma gains the license and authority to utilize Lovaza capsules, a prescription omega-3 product approved by the FDA, specifically in adult patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Lovaza serves as a medical-grade supplement designed for the management of high triglyceride levels. GlaxoSmithKline, a UK-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, executed this strategic transaction to further strengthen Woodward Pharma's pharmaceutical offerings and market presence in the healthcare industry.
