Collagen Peptides Market

Collagen Peptides Market Outlook (2022-2032)

The valuation of the global collagen peptides market is US$ 630 million in 2022 with projected worldwide sales of liquid collagen peptides estimated to increase to a value of US$ 1.09 billion by 2032-end.

Amino acids help produce collagen in the human body. Further, the core of human skin is formed with collagen. In our body, tendons, skin, muscles, and bones contain collagen. Collagen serves as a crucial component of connective tissue and is responsible for bone health and skin elasticity. There are around 28 types of different structures of collagen.

The level of collagen declines in the human body as collagen fibers get weaker and thinner with age. These factors result in a decreased level of collagen, joint pain, and skin aging. Further, collagen peptides are easily absorbed into the bloodstream as compared to endogenous collagen due to shorter amino acid chains.

Moreover, collagen peptides have physiological and nutritional qualities that are identical to endogenous collagen. These collagens are helpful to maintain skin, joint, and bone health. So, it is used to manufacture products including body lotion, shampoos, serums, face serums, and nutritional supplements for bones.

Rising awareness about health & skin wellness serves as one of the primary factors to drive revenue generation opportunities in the market. After the emergence of the pandemic, there is a noticeable increase in the adoption of a sedentary or inactive lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to rising demand for collagen peptides owing to their ability to lessen health complications that include joint pain and heart failure.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the demand for collagen peptides from the food & beverages industry. Different slaughtered animals that include fish, pigs, cattle, and poultry are the source of collagen peptides. The demand for these products differs based on the region with a variety of eating habits and limitations. For instance, the demand for pork and products that are derived from pork is strictly prohibited in the countries from Middle Eastern countries due to personal or religious values. Thus, these factors are predicted to put a direct impact on the demand for collagen peptides.

Global demand for bioactive collagen products (BPC) is anticipated to progress at a CAGR of 5.6% through 2032.

Which Market Drivers are Favoring Manufacturers of Collagen Peptides?

“Growing Use of Collagen Peptides in Food & Beverage Industry”

In recent years, collagen peptides have had a lot of applications that include beverages, sports nutrition, dietary supplements, therapeutic food, and functional food. In addition, people around the world are looking for healthier diets due to rising awareness related to health and wellness. Further, a constant change in the lifestyle of people is also predicted to increase demand for peptide supplements.

Collagen peptides are used at an increased rate in different food & beverages as a noticeable ingredient owing to their versatile nature. In addition, properties that are contained by collagen peptides are likely to increase the adoption of these products into numerous food products.

“Immense Business Opportunities for Manufacturers of Collagen Peptides in Emerging Economies”

At present time, there are a lot of people around the world that are adopting western diets. In addition, changing lifestyles along with food habits are estimated to increase the demand for functional ingredients in different food products.

Increasing industrial activities further leads to the requirement for process enhancement which has further contributed to the growing number of new developments in the industry of collagen peptides. Emerging economies including Eastern Europe, South America, South Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific countries are predicted to fuel demand for these products owing to rising awareness about their health benefits.

Which Factors are Estimated to Adversely Impact Adoption of Collagen Peptides?

“Increasing Consumer Shift towards Vegan Diets around the World”

There are a lot of people around the world who are following a vegan diet. They give preference to consuming natural and plant-based ingredients as a substitute for the protein that is sourced from animals. Various nutritional benefits and functionalities have increased the consumption of plant-based food products. Diabetes control, improved cardiovascular health, and reduced cholesterol levels are some popular benefits of these plant-based products.

For instance, soy milk is used as a rich source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains isoflavones that have anticancer and anti-estrogenic properties. In addition, increased cases of milk allergies and lactose intolerance are estimated to serve as noticeable factors to make a shift toward products that are protein-based.

“Insufficient Processing Technologies”

The extraction and processing techniques for collagen peptides are highly advanced. Further, after the extraction of edible collagen from fish/bovine/porcine skins it is further sent to undergo the process of filtration and ion exchange. Microfiltration technology is involved in the filtration process and allows an easy flow of fluid through the porous membrane.

Sterilization comes next in the row and requires high-temperature heat treatment and thus ultimately results in drying the product through the technology of spray drying. So, these long procedures are likely to limit the adoption of collagen peptides in nutrition products.

How Can Start-ups Gain Profits in This Space?

“Product Innovation - Key Strategy to Gain Traction”

Start-ups in recent years have been targeting the development of new products as per the requirements of people.

For instance :

• Raleigh-based startup Jellatech was founded in the year 2020 by Stephanie Michelsen.
