The global collagen market size is expected to reach USD 18.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.3% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to increase on account of the increasing collagen inclusion from a variety of applications, including food & beverage, healthcare, and cosmetics.
The primary product sources are porcine, bovine, marine, and poultry. It is found in cartilage, cow bones, and hides. Bovine collagen is available in abundance on account of the high availability of cattle and increasing beef production. In addition, porcine sources are considered better than bovine sources as porcine is similar to the collagen found in humans. The threat of transfer of infections and allergies is lower in collagen derived from porcine sources as compared to bovine sources. This, in turn, is expected to boost the demand for porcine in the coming years.
In North America the product demand is anticipated to witness significant growth in various industries such as healthcare, cosmetics, and food & beverage, among others. Furthermore, the region's market is expected to be positively influenced by consumers' growing preference for health drinks. The presence of a strong healthcare industry, combined with increased public expenditure on healthcare, particularly in the U.S. is expected to benefit the regional market. The increasing demand for gummy confectionery products is expected to drive product demand across the region in the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the entire food and beverage industry. The isolation rules have caused a lack of supply and disruption in the supply chain, causing domestic market participants to struggle. On the other hand, there is a rise in demand for high-nutritional-value products that provide several health benefits. Collagen is frequently obtained from supplements designed to help the elderly. The growing demand for supplements among the aging population is likely to improve health, immunity, and overall well-being. Furthermore, because of pandemics, consumers have become more conscious regarding food and beverage product labels. This is expected to open a surplus opportunity for food and beverage manufacturers to expand their businesses.
