Mussel oil is a novel and specialized item in the market, and the growing consciousness mainly propels its expansion among consumers about the potential health advantages of omega-3 fatty acids. With its rich concentration of omega-3s, Mussel oil has been associated with various benefits, including better cardiovascular health and cognitive function.
The industry's growth is predicted to be driven by the rise in chronic illnesses, such as autoimmune disorders, respiratory disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the increased use of nutritional supplements. Furthermore, the industry's growth is expected to be propelled by the product's emerging applications in the cosmetic industry and as pet food.
Mussel oil is renowned for its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been associated with a range of health benefits, such as improving the conditions of individuals with arthritis and asthma, reducing the risk of cognitive disorders (including cerebral palsy and ADHD), CVD, diabetes, and cancer. Osteoarthritis alone affects over 500 million people worldwide, which accounts for almost 7% of the global population. The oil is also effective in treating asthma by reducing lung inflammation. Mussels have low-fat levels and contain antioxidants, which decrease the risk of CVD and cancer. Given that CVD is the cause of death globally and cancer rates are rising worldwide, these factors are driving the industry's growth.
Mussel oil is also becoming popular as a pet food and supplement due to its various health benefits. The product is known to improve the animal's bone growth and overall health. It is rich in iron, calcium, iodine, magnesium, selenium, iron, and vitamin B12. Mussel oil is also finding its applications in the cosmetic industry.

The industry is experiencing novel advancements expected to drive its growth in the years ahead. For instance, the biotech firm PharmaZen, secured USD 14 million in funding in 2020 to construct two new factories in Rolleston, south of Christchurch, New Zealand. PharmaZen specializes in creating nutraceuticals derived from Greenshell mussel oil, and this investment will facilitate the production of more mussel oil-based nutraceuticals.
The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to impede market growth due to supply chain disruptions resulting from lockdowns imposed in numerous regions worldwide. The transportation of mussel oil, a vital ingredient in various industries, has been disrupted, affecting the expansion of mussel oil-based products.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The growth of the global market is driven by factors such as increasing demand for nutritional food supplements and the increase in prolonged diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), respiratory diseases, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and cancer, owing to the rise in the geriatric population across the globe. The increasing use of the product as pet food and cosmetics will further boost the mussel oil market growth during the forecast period.
Mussel oil has many health benefits in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, asthma, CVD, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other disorders. Arthritis affects 24 million adults globally.
