Moreover, the expansion of the global food processing sector and an increase in the number of cases of general lifestyle diseases have resulted in a paradigm change among consumers, who increasingly choose nutraceutical and functional foods, which aid in the prevention of age-related diseases. Collagen peptides are highly bioactive, easily digested, and cold-soluble form. Although they are not identical to gelatin, both are made up of proteins or amino acids. The bioactive peptides generated from the enzymatic hydrolysis of protein molecules are known as collagen peptides.
They are made by dissolving molecular connections between individual collagen strands and converting them to peptides. Furthermore, gelatin has wide usage in food additives, especially in the confectionery sector, and has been used in various dairy goods like yogurts, cream desserts, and other low-fat dairy products to enhance texture in the aforementioned dairy products.
Several factors, such as safety concerns, increased usage of substitutes such as high acyl gellan gum, pectin gels, carrageenan, modified starch gels, and religious restraints, are expected to hinder the global collagen & gelatin market expansion over the forecast period. Although, in the coming years, increased investments in R&D operations to synthesis plant-based proteins, along with the rise in the number of manufacturers or new players entrants, are projected to present lucrative potential.

Based on product, the gelatin segment is witnessing the highest revenue in 2021 due to the rise in demand for food and pharmaceutical industries due to the marvelous binding and stabilizing feature. Further, the rise in awareness regarding protein consumption among consumers coupled with growing bakery products globally has boosted the segment’s growth fortunes.
In 2021, the bovine source category accounted for the greatest share of the global industry. The industry growth can be attributed to its increased use in regenerative medicine due to its strong biocompatibility and biodegradability nature. Due to the enormous volume of domestic animal rearing, bovine and porcine protein sources are usually less expensive (cows and pigs).
North America is witnessing the largest revenue contributor in the global market due to growing healthcare awareness and acceptance of collagen peptides in the region. Increased demand for nutraceuticals, combined with technological improvement, is likely to boost the industry forward. Further, food and beverage have the most extensive use of the market, especially in bakery products. The extensive activities of the food processing giants in the region increase the customer reach, and food production projects an increase in the demand for the market.
The Asia Pacific is predicted to lead the global market in terms of growth rate due to growing economies. Increased demand for nutritional supplements, increased disposable income, and a wide range of applications will boost the industry's growth. The expanding acceptance and applications in the food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceutical industries are driving market expansion in the area. Collagen supplements have become more popular as customers become more aware of the health advantages. During the forecast period, these factors are expected to continue to drive market expansion.
Some of the major players operating the global market include Collagen Solutions PLC, Colllant Biotechnologies Ltd., Geistlich Pharma AG, Gelita AG, Integra LifeSciences, Jellagen, Matricel GMBH, Nitta Gelatin Inc., PB Leiner, Rousselot, Royal DSM, Symatese, Weishardt, Xiamen Hyfine Gelatin, and Zimmer Biomet.
