Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) stands as an omega-6 fatty acid primarily sourced from plants like evening primrose oil, borage oil, and blackcurrant seed oil. Renowned for its diverse health advantages, GLA encompasses inflammation reduction, blood sugar level regulation, and support for skin health.
The GLA market encompasses global products derived from or containing GLA, such as cosmetics, supplements, and functional foods. Several factors drive this market, including a surging demand for natural and plant-based items, heightened consumer awareness regarding GLA's health benefits, and an uptick in chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer. This has led to an increased demand for GLA supplements as an alternative therapeutic approach. Moreover, the market is experiencing growth due to the rising interest in cosmetic and personal care products featuring GLA.
Furthermore, the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis globally is anticipated to further elevate the demand for gamma linolenic acid. Joint pain and swelling are common symptoms of arthritis, and the consumption of gamma linolenic acid is beneficial in reducing inflammation and preventing arthritis. The gamma linolenic acid market is also witnessing growth due to changing lifestyles and an increase in consumer awareness related to health issues.
Governments are increasingly mandating health supplements for the elderly population. A notable example is the South Korean government's move in March 2023, wherein they made nutritional supplements compulsory for individuals aged 65 and above. These health functional foods will incorporate six functional raw materials and must be accompanied by country of origin labeling. This stipulation falls within the framework of the Guidelines for Country of Origin labeling of Agriculture and Fishery products, encompassing 13 specific items.
The mandate extends to supplements containing gamma linolenic acid derived from borage seed, primrose seed, and blackcurrant seed. This regulation is poised to drive an uptick in the consumption of gamma linolenic acid in the country in the foreseeable future.
