According to a new report published by Allied Market
Research, titled, Collagen Peptide and Gelatin Marketby Product Type,
Source, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast,
2012-2025, the global collagen peptide and gelatin market size was
valued at $3,727.34 million in 2017, and is expected to reach $6,729.00 million
by 2025, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2018 to 2025.
Collagens are building blocks of a living body, and they
comprise nearly 30% of the proteins in the human body. Collagens are the key
structural protein that ensures the cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration of
all our connective tissues, such as skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and
bones.
Collagens are composed of large triple helix chains of amino
acids, and these large triple helix chains are not soluble. Some of the applications
include collagen casings, medical materials, sponges for burns, and others.
When collagens are partially hydrolyzed, gelatins are formed. In this process,
collagen triple helices are broken down into individual strands. This molecular
structure is soluble in hot water and jellifies when cooled.

Further, hydrolysis of these gelatins leads to the formation
of peptides. In this process, the individual strands of protein are broken down
into small peptides of amino acids. These peptides are even soluble in cold
water, easily digestible, and ready to be absorbed by the human body.
The collagen peptide and gelatin market growth is attributed
to rise in awareness of consumers towards the health benefits associated with
it coupled with rise in disposable income, alteration of lifestyle, and high
adaptation of a healthy diet. Moreover, development of the food & beverage
industry further augments the growth of the market. However, stringent food
regulations, social and religious food norms, and enhanced awareness towards
animal conservation is anticipated to restrict the market growth.
COLLAGEN PEPTIDE AND GELATIN MARKET SNAPSHOT
The bovine segment by source is estimated as the largest
segment, comprising more than two-fifths of the global collagen peptide and
gelatin industry, in terms of volume. However, the marine collagen segment is
regarded as the premium quality collagens. In addition, they are accepted among
the Hindu and the Muslim consumers.
