The global borage oil market is expected
to reach USD 54.9 million by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. Increasing demand for natural ingredient-based cosmetics,
nutraceuticals and dietary supplements are expected to foster the market growth
over the forecast period. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) rich borage oil also
possesses extraordinary anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it a
preferred ingredient for cosmetics and skin ointments. Borage oil is also used
for direct human consumption through capsules or as a food supplement.
Canada and
the UK enjoy strategic advantage of high altitude and favorable weather where
borage growers can grow good quality seeds at comparatively lower cost than the
other countries. However, the crop has a high risk of failure due to
unpredictable rains and frost in the region which results in drastic raw
material supply fluctuations for borage oil production.
Medical
emerged as the leading application segment and accounted for 38.7% of total
market volume in 2015. Myriad of health benefits offered by the use of borage
oil has contributed towards its greater penetration in this industry, and this
trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The segment is also
expected to witness the highest growth of 5.4% from 2016 to 2024.
Various
regulations promoting the use of natural ingredients in pharmaceuticals and
food applications are expected to trigger the borage oil demand over the
forecast period. However, German Federal Health Agency limits borage oil
consumption to not more than 1mg per day.

The value chain is mainly dominated by borage seed providers as it is the only raw material used. In spite of China being a leading borage grower, oil manufacturers strive to obtain good quality seeds from UK and Canada to gain the competitive advantage of high-quality oil used for premium applications.
