Hydrolyzed Collagen Market Report: Size, Share and Outlook by 2031

In 2022, the hydrolyzed collagen market was valued at approximately US$ 946.43 million and is anticipated to grow to around US$ 1,322.60 million by 2028, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% during this period.

Numerous industries are implementing strategies for business growth and enhancing production capabilities to improve customer satisfaction. For example, in July 2020, Rousselot and Giusto Faravelli announced a distribution agreement in Italy, which took effect in October 2020. This collaboration allows Faravelli to distribute food and pharmaceutical gelatins, hydrolyzed collagens, and biomedical gelatins throughout Italy. Such initiatives to expand into new regions or countries to meet rising consumer demand are propelling market growth. These strategic developments by manufacturers of hydrolyzed collagen help them broaden their market presence and secure a competitive advantage in the global arena.

The hydrolyzed collagen market is categorized by source into bovine, porcine, poultry, marine, and other segments. The bovine hydrolyzed collagen segment held the largest market share in 2022, while the marine hydrolyzed collagen segment is projected to experience the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Marine hydrolyzed collagen is primarily sourced from various fish species, jellyfish, and sponges, contributing to improved cartilage and skin health. In cell culture applications, marine collagen enhances the quality of collagen. When used as a dietary supplement for animals, it promotes bone mineral density and strength. Adequate protein intake from dietary sources positively impacts weight management, muscle recovery, lean body mass, and immune function, among other health benefits. The extraction of hydrolyzed collagen from traditional sources like bovine and porcine has limitations due to health concerns such as swine flu and bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Consequently, the demand for marine-derived hydrolyzed collagen is on the rise as a viable alternative, further driving the growth of the hydrolyzed collagen market.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted the role of e-commerce, as lockdowns forced people to stay home and many physical stores closed across Europe. E-pharmacies and online drugstores experienced a surge in demand for medications and supplements, as they provided home delivery services during the lockdowns. This increase in demand for nutraceutical products, including hydrolyzed collagen, is expected to further stimulate the hydrolyzed collagen market in Europe throughout the forecast period.

In 2021, the market began to recover positively as various European governments lifted previously imposed restrictions, allowing manufacturers to operate at full capacity. This led to increased production volumes and enhanced supply chain operations across multiple end-use industries, thereby supporting the growth of the hydrolyzed collagen market in Europe.

Geographically, the hydrolyzed collagen market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. In 2022, North America dominated the hydrolyzed collagen market, while the Asia Pacific region is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Hydrolyzed collagen is becoming increasingly popular as a nutricosmetic ingredient in the Asia Pacific region. Consequently, collagen-infused face masks and other cosmetic products are trending in this area. Amino Collagen India is a significant player in the Indian beauty supplement sector, operating under the Meiji Amino Collagen brand. Major market players are actively pursuing initiatives to expand their operations and meet the rising demand for hydrolyzed collagen across various applications. For instance, in January 2023, Youtheory, a supplement brand based in Southern California, announced the expansion of its collagen-based Beauty On-The-Go product line in Japan. Additionally, "beauty restaurants" in countries like Singapore and Japan offer a range of dishes that include dietary supplements, many of which are based on hydrolyzed collagen. Therefore, the increasing popularity of hydrolyzed collagen as an ingredient in nutricosmetic products is likely to propel the market in the Asia Pacific region in the coming years.

Key players in the hydrolyzed collagen market include Ewald-Gelatine GmbH, GELITA AG, Rousselot BV, Nitta Gelatin Inc, Protein SA, ConnOils LLC, Norland Products Inc, Tessenderlo Group NV, Titan Biotech Ltd, and Viscofan DE GmbH. These companies are focused on launching new products and expanding geographically to satisfy the growing global consumer demand.
