Market Definition

The global Collagen Peptide and Gelatin Market was valued at USD 4.61 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach USD 7.25 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2023 to 2030. Collagen peptide is a cold-water-soluble protein that is easily digestible and highly bioactive. It is a kind of protein that is found in the connective tissues of animals. Collagen peptide and gelatin primarily originate from collagen and are made up of amino acids. The structure is not fully broken down, but it can still break down protein fibers into smaller pieces.

Gelatin is a flavorless, translucent, and colorless food ingredient that is used as a food additive in confectionery and dairy industries for the production of yogurt, ice creams, and others. It contains lysine that strengthens the bones, helps the body absorb calcium, and helps prevent osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak or brittle. Collagen peptide and gelatin also aid in healthy skin, hair, joints, and nails. Collagen peptide and gelatin have various implications in sectors including cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and healthcare among others.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The increasing demand for collagen peptide and gelatine is driven by their recognized health benefits, including improved bone density, enhanced skin health, regulated blood pressure, weight management, and protection against osteoarthritis. Also, the rising demand for dietary supplements and nutraceutical products along with the trend of being physically fit among the millennials around the world is expected to further propel the growth of the market.

Moreover, growing skincare consciousness as well as developing skincare routines with cosmeceutical products such as anti-wrinkles, moisturizers, and night creams propels the market growth. Additionally, the rapid increase in trends and demand for convenience and functional foods & beverages are further expected to fuel the growth of the market. 

However, concerns regarding animal cruelty and slaughterhouses along with the growing inclination toward veganism, endorsed by prominent organizations such as PETA are the factors expected to restrain the growth of the market. On the contrary, the easy availability of collagen peptide and gelatin in e-commerce sites such as Amazon, Walmart, iHerb, and others is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the collagen peptide and gelatin market.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the dominant share of the collagen peptide and gelatin market and is expected to continue dominating the market during the forecast period. This is attributed to factors such as massive demand from several industry verticals that include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries for skin hydration and skin aging products.

For instance, in January 2021, Darling Ingredients announced that its Rousselot brand launched MSC-certified marine collagen peptides to expand its portfolio with sustainably sourced, premium nutricosmetics and dietary supplements. This helps producers meet the demands of today's conscientious consumers for high-quality, safe, sustainable, and fully traceable marine collagen solutions. In addition, the growing number of older people in this region is driving the market for collagen peptide and gelatin products, as these products are believed to strengthen bones and are easy to digest.

Asia-Pacific is expected to show a steady rise in the collagen peptide and gelatin market during the forecast period, owing to rapid growth in the food processing industry coupled with growing awareness and benefits of collagen peptide and gelatin products. For instance, in January 2022, Nitta Gelatin India Ltd launched premium gelatin of international standards in the hotel, restaurant, and café category. Food enthusiasts can look forward to preparing and experiencing a variety of desserts, jellies, frozen sweets, soft candies, and marshmallows. This is the first time a gelatin manufacturer in India offered food-grade gelatin of its brand.

Moreover, the ongoing innovations in animal-free bioidentical collagen products further boost the market growth in this region. For instance, in February 2022, Geltor announced the first successful production run of animal-free bioidentical collagen ‘PrimaColl’. Geltor and Arxada worked together to make PrimaColl over a five-month period. PrimaColl is a protein-rich substitute for animal collagen that is just as good as animal collagen and can be used in many different products.
