What is Cod Liver Oil?

Cod liver oil is a nutrient-rich oil extracted from the liver of codfish, primarily Atlantic cod. It is naturally abundant in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), vitamin A, and vitamin D. The oil is widely consumed as a dietary supplement to support cardiovascular health, bone strength, immune function, and cognitive development. Cod liver oil is available in liquid form and softgel capsules and is refined to remove impurities and contaminants such as heavy metals. Advanced purification processes ensure safety, stability, and preservation of bioactive compounds. Cod liver oil is commonly used in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food applications. The manufacturing process involves procurement of fresh cod livers, cleaning, cooking or steam digestion, oil separation, centrifugation, crude oil filtration, molecular distillation, purification, deodorization and winterization, quality testing, encapsulation or bottling, and packaging. The proposed manufacturing facility is designed with an annual production capacity ranging between 1,000–5,000 MT, enabling economies of scale while maintaining operational flexibility. Key equipment includes steam cookers or digesters, centrifuges and separators, filtration systems, molecular distillation units, deodorization equipment, encapsulation machines, and quality testing instruments.

Market Trend and Drivers of Cod Liver Oil:

The cod liver oil manufacturing sector is witnessing steady growth driven by rising consumer awareness of omega-3 health benefits, increasing demand for immune and heart health supplements, and rising preference for natural dietary supplements. The market is primarily driven by increasing awareness of omega-3 health benefits and rising adoption of preventive healthcare supplements. With just one teaspoon (5 mL) delivering approximately 890 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, 150% of the daily value of vitamin A (1,350 mcg RAE), and 56% of daily vitamin D requirements, cod liver oil offers highly concentrated nutritional benefits in small doses, enhancing consumer appeal for preventive health supplements. Expansion of the geriatric population increases consumption for bone and joint health, while pediatric supplementation programs further contribute to market growth. In September 2025, Brim acquired 100% of the shares in fish oil producer Lysi for ISK 30 billion (USD 248 million, EUR 211 million), with Lysi being a major manufacturer of fish oils including cod oil, cod liver oil, omega-3 fish oils, salmon oil, and tuna oil. In January 2024, Wiley’s Finest introduced Cod Liver Oil+, featuring updated packaging and a naturally flavored Orange Bliss variant with lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins D and E, along with omega-3s EPA and DHA, designed to support cognitive performance, stress management, immune function, and eye health. Additionally, rising demand for clean-label and marine-based nutritional ingredients and sustainability practices in fisheries management further strengthen the market outlook. The gross profit margins for a cod liver oil manufacturing plant typically range between 35–45%, with net profit margins of 18–28%, while raw materials including cod livers/fish account for approximately 70–80% of total operating expenses and utilities account for 10–15%.
