The global Gelatin market is estimated to cross USD 4.50 billion by 2028. Gelatin is defined as a denatured protein, developed from collagen (a constituent of connective tissue and bones of animals) and is widely used as a pure protein ingredient in the food industry on account of its exceptional gelling, emulsifying, binding and stabilizing properties. Increasing consumer inclination towards protein-rich diets, dietary supplements has enhanced the use of collagen peptide in the food and beverage industry.

The food industry is governed by strict laws that control animal-based raw materials and ingredients used in product production. European and North American countries are actively interested in the creation of such regulations. In Europe, for example, Gelatin manufacturers must adhere to the standards and conditions outlined in REGULATION (EU) 2016/355. According to the regulation, raw materials used in Gelatin manufacture for human consumption must follow certain guidelines, such as adhering to defined residual limits and undergoing specific treatments to minimize disease incidence in humans.
On the basis of raw material, pig skin holds the major share of the global Gelatin market with a projected revenue CAGR of more than 5.0% from 2021 to 2028. Pig skin contains a large amount of collagen; hence it is utilized for manufacturing Gelatin on a large scale. The simple production process, less pretreatment time and superior quality of the product has made pig skin an ideal source of the raw material.
Apart from this, bovine hides is another potential segment of the global Gelatin market. Easy availability of cattle skin from slaughterhouses and leather industry is another key aspect behind the growth of global Gelatin market size. However, Gelatin from sources such as pig raises the sociocultural concern of not being halal and becomes unacceptable by multiple religions globally. Thus, rising interest in the incorporation of by-products from fish as a source has emerged as one of the upcoming Gelatin market trends since the past few years.
Gelling, water binding, and protective colloid properties along with compatibility with milk proteins have made Gelatin an excellent stabilizer in the dairy industry. As a stabilizer, Gelatin surpassed 40% of the market revenue share in 2020. Also, protective colloid action gives a smooth texture and is most effective in preventing separation. It is often added to cultured dairy products in small amounts to provide a smooth body.
Europe held the largest market share and accounted for market revenue of more than USD 700 million in the global Gelatin market 2020. Implementation of stringent regulatory policies pertaining to the prevention of the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has supported the growth of global Gelatin market. Germany and France are poised to be the leading consumers of Gelatin in Europe, collectively surpassing a market share for over 30%. Apart from this, demand in the North America market is also expected to rise in the near future on account of rapid growth in photography, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic applications.
