Gelatin Market To Reach $13.14 Billion By 2030 | CAGR: 11.1%

Gelatin Market Growth & Trends

The global gelatin market is anticipated to reach USD 13.14 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The global surge in demand for gelatin is because of its unique properties and potential health benefits. Rich in amino acids like glycine and proline, gelatin supports the body's collagen production, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, joint health, and gut integrity.

Gelatin is a natural protein derived from collagen, primarily extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as pigs, cattle, and fish. These materials are typically sourced from slaughterhouses and leather processing facilities. Gelatin is rich in amino acids, including glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which contribute to its unique gelling properties. Due to its versatility, gelatin is widely utilized across various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

In 2024, Europe dominated the global gelatin market. This leadership is primarily driven by robust demand from key end-use industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom exhibit notably high gelatin consumption, attributed to their well-established manufacturing sector.
