Lipids are organic compounds that are nonpolar molecules, which are known to be soluble only in nonpolar solvents and are insoluble in water, due to water being a polar molecule. These molecules are synthesized in the human body (liver) and are commonly found in products such as oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, fried foods, and also in select red meat. They have a variety of important characteristics, which include:

• oily or greasy nonpolar molecules that are stored in the adipose tissue of the human body,
• energy-rich organic molecules that provide energy for different life processes, and
• acts as a mechanical barrier that divides a cell from the external environment, which is known as a cell membrane.

Human beings are unable to naturally produce lipids, hence the need for the consumption of external sources of lipids. They are commonly found in foods like fish, meat, eggs, olives, peanuts, safflowers, soy, and many others. The three known types of lipids include triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. Triglycerides consist of 95% of lipids in the diet and are commonly found in fried foods, vegetable oil, butter, cream cheese, whole milk, and some meats.

Lipid Nutrition Market Introduction:

The nutritional lipid market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecasted period. The main factors that affect the growth of the nutritional lipid market include the rise in demand for nutraceuticals and functional foods and the increase in the burden of chronic diseases. Nutritional lipids in the market mainly include products of Omega-3, Omega-6, MCTs, and other types. Lipids' nutritional value comes from three types, which include triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. Triglycerides can be commonly found in many foods, which are naturally produced in avocados, nuts, and corn, and consist of 95% of the human diet.

Phospholipids make up 2% of the diet and are crucial for building a protective barrier around the body’s cells. Phospholipids form an enclosed structure to transport fat throughout the bloodstream. Sterol, which is commonly known as cholesterol, is produced by the human body from the consumption of lipid-based foods and is required for the synthesis of vitamin D and bile salts. Another leading factor in the growth of the lipid nutrition market is the increasing health consciousness amongst the general public.

Lipid Nutrition Market Drivers:

• Rise in demand for nutraceuticals and functional foods: The increase in the health-conscious population is one of the major factors that has led to the increase in demand for nutraceuticals and functional foods. Functional foods are food products that contain nutritional value and help in avoiding bodily harm. Functional lipids are the type of lipids that provide health benefits to the human body, which include the well-known omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is well known to provide a variety of health benefits, which include immunity boost and reducing nutritional risk from cardiovascular diseases. Functional lipids are commonly produced in the form of nutraceutical products such as fish oil pills and many others. The nutraceutical market in the country of India is expected to show significant growth by reaching US$18 billion by the end of 2025, which is an increase from US$4 billion in 2020. This increase in the nutraceutical market will provide the necessary fuel for the growth of the lipid nutrition market as well.
• The increasing number of Chronic diseases: Lipids have proven to be useful in a diet due to the several benefits that they provide to health. Lipids have been proven to help with the moving and storing of energy, absorbing vitamins, and making hormones in the human body. As per the World Health Organization, Malnutrition is one of the leading causes of diet-related Chronic diseases. This includes inadequate vitamins or minerals, undernutrition, and obesity. Around 462 million adults were found to be underweight, and 1.9 billion as obese. This increasing burden is due to the imbalanced diet and lack of nutritional fats and oils in the body. A controlled lipid-focused diet has been proven to provide health benefits, which include an increase in functionality of the human body and also provide essential nutrients. This can help prevent many types of chronic diseases.

Lipid Nutrition Market Key Players:

• BASF SE: A German company and one of the leaders in the production of chemicals, crops, plastics, protection products, and performance products. Their products include a wide variety of agriculture, energy and resources, nutrition, and many others.
• Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): An American company and one of the leading agricultural processing and oilseed processing companies with products that include biodiesel, industrial oils, and many others.
• Cargill, Incorporated: An American company that is one of the leaders in the production of edible oils such as Nature Fresh, Gemini, Sweekar, Rath, and sunflower brands of hydrogenated fats.

Lipid Nutrition Market Regional Analysis:

The North American region is expected to witness significant growth in the lipid nutrition market during the forecasted period. The factors that affect the growth in the North American region are the increasing burden of Chronic diseases in the U.S. This has also been a leading driver of the nation’s annual healthcare costs. As per the CDC, the leading causes of disability in the U.S. are chronic diseases, which include cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The reasons for the burden of chronic diseases are poor nutrition and physical inactivity. A Lipid-based diet will be able to provide a person with the necessary nutrients that will enable the human body to be healthy and strong. As people are moving to a healthier dietary trend, the increase in health consciousness will also increase, which will provide a significant boost to the lipid nutrition market.

Lipid Nutrition Market Developments:

• July 2023: 4GOLD announced the launch of the new lipid supplement, which is a combination of Long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), dubbed LiFT. The product claims to bypass liver processing, which allows for the direct transportation of the lipids to the muscle tissue, which then provides an extraordinary energy boost that is comparable to glucose. This product was focused on the athletic industry, where endurance is the key to victory.
