Collagen Market Analysis

Collagen is a structural protein found in connective tissue, skin, tendons, bones, cartilages, and other body parts. It supports tissues structurally and is involved in cellular functions such as tissue healing, immunological response, cellular communication, and cellular migration. Collagen is generally obtained from bovine connective tissues or marine sources. It has a wide range of applications across multiple end-use industries, including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals, and personal care. In the food & beverages industry, collagen is used in yogurts, smoothie blends, nutritional bars, ready-to-drink beverages, and others. Collagen-induced foods and beverages enhance collagen levels in the body; moreover, they help in repairing skin texture, improving bone and muscle health, and strengthening joints. Rising awareness regarding the health benefits of collagen among customers is driving the demand for collagen-induced foods and beverages.

Collagen Market Overview

Collagen is one of the most important structural proteins found in humans and animals such as cattle, pigs, and marine animals. In humans, collagen accounts for 30% of the total protein content. As humans age, the body produces less amount of collagen, which negatively impacts bone health and skin & hair health. Therefore, dieticians and healthcare practitioners recommend consuming collagen-induce supplements and foods and beverages. Moreover, the number of people suffering from osteoporosis is increasing rapidly. Osteoporosis is more prevalent in women than in men. Women in the post-menopausal period suffer from osteoporosis the most. Collagen supplements increase the bone mineral density in the body and help in treating osteoporosis. All these factors are boosting the growth of the global collagen market.

Collagen Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Prevalence of Osteoporosis to Favor Market

Osteoporosis is a condition caused due to the reduction in bone mineral density and mass, which results in the loss of bone strength and increases the risk of fractures. In severe cases of osteoporosis, bones become weak and brittle to the extent that even minor pressures such as leaning or coughing can lead to fractures. The hip, wrist, and spine are the most common sites for osteoporosis-related fractures. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, ~5.2% of the UK population was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2019. Furthermore, Asia is likely to account for more than half of the total osteoporotic hip fracture count reported in the world by 2050.

Surging Demand for Collagen in Personal Care Products and Nutricosmetics

The beauty & personal care industry is growing at a significant pace. Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe are among the regions where the market for beauty and personal care products has a stronghold. As people these days focus more on skincare and hair care, products that provide nourishment and deep hydration are largely preferred. As humans age, the body produces less collagen, creating skin problems such as wrinkles, skin loosening, and dehydration. Alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress further accelerate the skin’s aging process. These concerns can be addressed with the supplementation of collagen peptides. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of collagen implants to treat acne scars and smooth wrinkles. Hydrolyzed collagen is particularly used in several personal care and cosmetic products. In hair care products, collagen helps improve hair texture and strengthen the hair to prevent breakage. It also prevents dry scalp by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness.
