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.

Collagen peptides are easily digestible, cold-soluble, and highly bioactive sources of collagen. They 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.

Collagen peptides find application in the dairy, confectionery, beverages, meat & fish products, and other pharmaceutical and food products and are used to improve the organoleptic properties. Gelatin is a colorless, translucent, flavorless, and brittle food additive derived from collagen present in several animal body parts. Gelatin is generally used as a jelling agent in pharmaceutical drugs, food, photography, vitamin capsules, and production of cosmetic.

The collagen peptide and gelatin market growth is attributed to growing awareness of consumers towards the health benefits associated with the product coupled with rise in disposable income, alteration in lifestyle, and high adaptation of healthy diet. Moreover, development of the food & beverage industry furthers augments the growth of the market. However, stringent food regulations, social and religious food norms, and increased awareness towards animal conservation are anticipated to restrict the market growth.
