The global Arachidonic Acid Market size was estimated to be USD 180 million in 2020 and is foreseen to reach a value of about USD 281.0 million by the end of 2025, noticing a CAGR of about 6% over the prophesized period. Consumers around the world are becoming more diet conscious and adopting healthy eating habits.
Arachidonic acid is a long-chain fatty acid that is combined with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to help improve brain cells in babies. Arachidonic acid is among the most crucial acids belonging to the omega 6 group. It is stored in the cell membrane and signals adaptive changes when muscles are damaged. The lack of arachidonic acid, which naturally forms in the human body, can be compensated by ingestion in the form of tablets, injections and syrups. It is obtained from various food sources like chicken, meat, fish, eggs and others. It is also included in the phospholipids of the cytoplasm of cells adjacent to the gallbladder membrane, which is studded with the proteins necessary for phospholipid synthesis. Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that has been found to be almost completely esterified with phospholipids in secondary glycerol alcohols. Phospholipids containing arachidonic acid are available in almost all mammals, andit is an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized within the cell, but must be incorporated with the aid of diet or by lengthening the chain and desaturating another essential fatty acid, namely linoleic acid. Arachidonic acid metabolism offers a pathway that produces diverse, fast-acting, and short-lived signaling molecules. Cytoplasmic phosphatase A2 releases arachidonic acid from the set of phospholipids in the cell membrane.

The growth of the market is mainly due to the increased prevalence of baby food and the augmented use of sports nutrition.
Increased disposable income, consumption capacity, and rise in consumer awareness of the importance of maintaining nutritional value in the diet are key factors expected to drive growth in the global arachidonic acid market. Rising awareness of parenting products is one of the key factors driving industrial growth. Product manufacturing requires qualified personnel and special material handling equipment, which increases production costs. Therefore, to reduce production costs, major manufacturers are focusing on R&D and proprietary manufacturing technology, which improves product quality to enhance brand value. The industry is branded by a diversified value chain of raw material providers, makers, distributors, and end-users. Raw material suppliers have become an essential element in the ARA industry value chain. The growing importance of suppliers is an important driver influencing the strategies of key industry participants. Furthermore, due to various health benefits, increased R&D activity by major companies in supplying new baby products, along with increased adoption of arachidonic acid by manufacturers, is supposed to support global market growth to some extent.
Producers tend to manufacture products close to the end-user to reduce shipping costs, minimize exposure to currency fluctuations, and benefit from local incentives. In Middle Eastern countries, infant formula companies are trying to encourage consumers through various educational campaigns. With a low product penetration rate, companies around the world are expanding their businesses in this region. Also, the increasing demand in the pharmaceutical sector for arachidonic acid as a component of various food supplements is another factor that is assumed to support the growth of the global market to some extent. ARA's demand for dietary supplements is increasing as consumer health awareness increases. The potential for bodily injury is presumed to increase as outdoor sports activities, including auto racing and the marathon, increase, which can lead the market and generate revenue in terms of increased application. The increased investment by major players in R&D activities and their approach to profitable product development are likely to create potential revenue opportunities for players to operate in the global market over the outlook period.
The high cost of manufacturing arachidonic acid is an essential factor that is deemed to hinder the growth of the global arachidonic acid market. Furthermore, strict regulations regarding product approval are another factor that is likely to challenge the growth of the target market to some extent.
The global market is divided by region in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, and South America. North America arachidonic acid industry has the most substantial share of in food applications, trailed by Europe and Asia Pacific. North America was the leading region with a volume of over 40%, owing to the presence of market giants in North America. The region is anticipated to expand further over the forecast period, particularly due to the advanced sports and child nutrition industry in the United States and the high consumer capacity of consumers. This is due to the strong R&D activities that exist and have been carried out by many companies through many new patents that use ARA in infant formulas, and sports nutrition and increased fertility rates in North America, especially in Mexico, allow the growth of the market. The recent trend in the use of ARA for the treatment of diabetes is foreseen to contribute to the growth of the market in other North American countries.
Europe also has a notable share of the world market. The early introduction of ARA into supplements and infant formulas is a major cause of this growth. Factors like a high standard of living and a well-developed sports nutrition market are also driving local industries. The Asia-Pacific region is also touted to show strong CAGRs due to rapid urbanization, a growing middle-class population, and the growth of babies across the region. The presence of developing nations like India and China and the easy access to low-cost raw materials and labor are pushing manufacturers across the globe to promote their businesses in APAC, supporting the regional market boom.
