Factors Affecting the Growth of the Shark Liver Oil Industry:

  • Pharmaceutical Applications:

The extensive use of shark liver oil in the pharmaceutical sector is impelling the growth of the market. Rich in alkylglycerols and squalene, shark liver oil plays a crucial role in developing immune system boosters and adjuvants in vaccine formulations. Alkylglycerols are known to enhance bone marrow activity and white blood cell production, proving essential in immunity and during chemotherapy treatments. The squalene component in the oil is used in the manufacture of adjuvants that improve vaccine efficacy by enhancing immune response. With increasing health awareness and rising pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) investments, the demand for shark liver oil is increasing.

  • Cosmetic Industry Demand:

Squalene, a major compound found in shark liver oil, is highly prized for its moisturizing and antioxidant properties. This compound is integral in formulating various skincare products, including anti-aging creams, moisturizers, and protective balms. The trend of natural and organic cosmetic products further drives the demand for shark liver oil as people increasingly prefer ingredients sourced from nature. As global cosmetic giants strive to meet these consumer preferences, the demand for natural ingredients like shark liver oil is rising.

  • Nutritional Supplements Sector:

The global shift towards preventive healthcare and wellness is driving the demand for dietary supplements, where shark liver oil is recognized for its health benefits. It is a rich source of vitamin A and D, which are vital for maintaining healthy skin, immune function, and bone health. The increasing awareness about the benefits of omega fatty acids, vitamins, and other essential nutrients found in shark liver oil is driving its adoption in the nutritional supplements market. As populations age and the focus on lifestyle diseases intensifies, more people are turning to supplements to maintain health and prevent illness.
