Market Dynamics

Drivers: ...
... Cosmetic and personal care products using collagen peptides

Collagens present in the skin are responsible for skin structure. Collagen fibers present in the human skin get damaged with time, losing thickness and strength, resulting in skin aging. Collagen peptides are being used in cosmetic and personal care products. They are used in the form of creams and are used as nutritional supplements for the bones. They are also used for skin replacement and the augmentation of soft skin, among others. They are used in various personal care products, such as soaps, shampoos, body lotions, and facial creams. Collagen peptides act as surfactants and washing agents while used in shampoos and shower gels.

Restraints: Cultural restriction on the consumption of animal-sourced protein

Collagen peptides are animal by-products formed from the collagen of slaughtered animals, which include the bones, hides, and hooves of cattle, pigs, fish, and poultry. As a result, individuals with religious or dietary restrictions that forbid the consumption of animal products are not willing to consume those products that use collagen peptides. For instance, in the Middle Eastern and Muslim communities, pork and pork-derived products are strictly forbidden. Hence, they prefer to consume halal-certified bovine-derived products. In these regions, the market for collagen peptides manufactured by pork skin is estimated to be negligible.

Opportunities: Promotion of healthy diets by governments

Inadequate consumption of essential nutrients increases the risk of various chronic and cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer, obesity, and diabetes. With globalization and higher exposure to other cultures (especially Western lifestyles), consumers’ eating patterns have also changed, with an increase in snacking and eating meals in restaurants.

Challenges: Insufficient processing technologies across the globe

The extraction and processing of collagen peptides require highly advanced technology. After extracting the edible collagen from porcine/bovine/fish skins, it is sent for the filtration process and ion exchange. The filtration process involves microfiltration technology, where the fluid is allowed to pass through a porous membrane. This is followed by heat sterilization, which requires high-temperature heat treatment and ultimately drying the product through spray drying technology.
