The escalation in instances of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the omega-3 prescription drug market. The correlation between elevated blood triglyceride levels, a fat-like compound, and greater cardiovascular disease risk suggests omega-3 supplements' role in moderating and reducing triglyceride levels. For instance, the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2022 report indicates that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) amounted to the primary cause of death globally, leading to nearly 20.5 million deaths, approximately a third of all worldwide fatalities. This signifies a surge when compared to the former estimate of 121 million deaths linked to CVD. Consequently, the increase in cardiovascular disease (CVDs) cases propels the omega-3 prescription drug market's expansion.
