The collagen casing market was valued at US$ 1,648.6 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 2,418.6 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2021 to 2028.
Collagen casings are essential in the production of a variety of value-added or processed meat products. The high mechanical strength and fibrous nature of these products have boosted their demand in numerous applications, including casings for sausages and meat-based products. Furthermore, sausage production continues to grow across geographies, as sausages are increasingly becoming mainstream food. Different types of sausages available in the market include fresh sausages, dry-cured sausages, cooked sausages, and semi-dry sausages. Referring to the rising demand for sausages, the sausage production units, food processors, meat producers, and private label companies are compelling the sausage casing manufacturers to supply an increased quantity of casings, which is, in turn, catalyzing the collagen casings market.
During the forecast period, Europe is likely to account for the largest share of the global collagen casing market. The dominance of Europe is chiefly attributed to the enormous demand for sausages among the population. The changing lifestyle of consumers in Europe has led to an increased demand for healthy and nutritional products. Consumers and retail outlets prefer meat products that are easy to store and have a longer shelf life. Thus, the growth in the food industry is anticipated to drive the collagen casings market in Europe. Devro PLC and VISCOFAN, S.A. are among the major companies operating in the region. These players focus on new and improved product offerings to meet the demand of end-use industries in the market, which is further expected to boost the market growth. Also, the companies adopt strategies such as mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, and expansions to expand their footprints across Europe and to fulfill the growing demand for collagen casings.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the collagen casings industry. The outbreak has declined operational efficiency and interrupted the value chains due to the sudden closure of national and international boundaries, thereby creating revenue loss and damage. The disruption in the value chain has had a negative impact on collagen casings supply, which has impacted the growth of the collagen casings market. This, in turn, is affecting the development of the end-use industries such as food processing, food service, and food retail. However, as the economies are planning to revive their operations and start vaccine deployment across various countries, the demand for collagen casings is expected to rise globally. A rise in health awareness among the populace due to COVID-19, coupled with the production of collagen casings from safe materials, is expected to boost the growth of the collagen casings market.

Surge in Consumer Preference for Meat-Based Snacks and Products
The 21st century has witnessed colossal paradigm shifts in the lifestyles of the populace, which can be attributed to various factors such as introduction of new technology, industrialization, and others. Globalization, regional demographics, cultural influences, changing lifestyles, and the allied changing food habits have contributed to the growing demand for processed food products that are easy to cook and serve. In recent years, the consumption of snacks and savory products has increased in both developed and developing countries. As sausages are easy-to-cook and rich in protein, their consumption has grown exponentially over the years. Several varieties of sausages are consumed in breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. There are close to 100 variants of sausages that are manufactured worldwide. Europe is one of the leading consumers of sausages. German, Italian, and Portuguese sausages have gained global recognition. The consumption of sausages is particularly high in western countries such as the UK, Italy, the US, Germany, and Poland. The wide popularity and acceptance of frozen foods in the colder countries further provide a robust growth platform for sausages. The sales of collagen casings are proportionate to the rising consumption of sausages

This factor is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the collagen casings market in the coming years.Type Insights
Based on type, the global collagen casing market is segmented into edible and inedible. The edible segment is expected to hold a larger share of the market during the forecast period. Edible collagen casings are made by the extraction process, usually from the cattle hide. The edible collagen casings are available in straight and curved forms. The straight ones generally range from 13mm to 45mm, whereas the curved versions of the edible collagen casings range from 20mm to 45mm. Edible collagen casings are ideally suited for hotdogs, smoked and polished sausage, snack sticks, bratwurst, Italian sausage, pepperoni, breakfast links, and many ethnic sausages. The edible casings provide an appetizing appearance to the sausage and usually come in round-shaped or cylindrical shapes.
Application Insights
The market for collagen casings based on application is further segmented into fresh sausages, processed sausages, salami, and others. The fresh sausages segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period. Fresh sausage is pure meat that is mixed with various types of seasoning. Fresh sausages are covered with edible casings and are cooked either with or without those casings. Fresh sausages comprise sausage patties, chorizo, polish sausage, breakfast links, bratwurst, and Italian sausage made from chopped, ground, and uncooked meat. Fresh sausages need to be kept frozen or refrigerated until they are consumed. The fresh sausages are usually categorized into pork, beef, breakfast, and Italian. The fat in these sausages ranges from 30% to 50%. The collagen casings available for fresh sausages are edible and are usually designed for pan fry, deep fry, grilling, and precooked applications. The casings for fresh sausages should have high strength for undergoing the rigors of grilling and deep-fat frying and are easy to use, retain the flavor of the sausage, as well as tender. The casing requirements for fresh sausages include high permeability, superior shelf appearance, strong end closures, expansion and shrinking capabilities, accurate diameter and size control, and their engineering for withstanding high-speed filling equipment.
End-Use Insights
The market for collagen casings, based on end-use, is segmented into food processing, foodservice, and food retail. The food processing segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period. Rising demand for sausages has led to large-scale production of sausages in the food processing industries. The manual processes have been replaced by automated machines for quicker and large-scale sausage productions. The sausage production industries are characterized by particle definition, product integrity, automatic hanging devices, inline grinding, automated mold loading, batching systems, and sausage manufacturing software. Besides, the demand for meat and meat-processed products has risen considerably in the last decade owing to globalization and changing food cultures. As the global population continues to increase, meat consumption is expected to proliferate in the coming years.
