According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Native Collagen Market," The native collagen market size was valued at $305.2 million in 2021, and native collagen industry is estimated to reach $555.1 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2031.

Native collagen is an unprocessed protein that is used in wound dressing, bone and joint reconstruction, tissue regeneration, and other skincare products. Gelatin and peptides can be further processed or hydrolyzed. Personal care, food and beverages, cosmetics, photography, and healthcare are all industries that use processed products.

Human skin collagen fibers deteriorate over time, losing thickness and strength, resulting in skin ageing. Collagen is a nutritional supplement used in cosmetic creams for bone regeneration, cartilage regeneration, vascular and cardiac reconstruction, skin replacement, and soft skin augmentation, among other things. Many soaps, shampoos, facial creams, body lotions, and other cosmetics contain collagen. Native collagen is an important ingredient in skin and hair care products. Native collagen is combined with surfactants and active washing agents in shampoos and shower gels in the personal care industry.

Germany is expected to dominate the market due to growing acceptance for collagen in variety of applications such as, cosmetics, dietary supplements, among others. Europe region is known for its fashion sense and cosmetic industry; hence, there is a huge demand for native collagen. In addition, the presence of aging population in this region such as in 2020, the population of aged 65 and over was accounted about 20.6% of the EU population. The surge in the demand for pharmaceutical and healthcare related industry due to outbreak of pandemic is a major factor driving the native collagen market growth.

Furthermore, gradual increase in the aging population in this region and their lifestyle toward fashion has led to increase in the demand for cosmetics which delay aging, hence driving the demand for native collagen market opportunities. In addition, the presence of active trends during the past few years will have positive impact on the market. For instance, in July 2021, Geltor introduced a bioactive collagen called PrimaColl made from zero animal inputs and having high purity. The plant-based product is made for use in food & beverage industry. In June 2020, Nestlé announced agreement to acquire majority stake in Vital Proteins considering the rising demand for the product.

Impact of Covid-19 on Global Native Collagen Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has negative impact on the native collagen market. This market has experienced lower than anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre pandemic levels. The global market has exhibited a decline about 25% in 2020 compared to 2019 due to shutdown of various food processing industries and agricultural activities from where feedstock is used as raw material for the production.

The demand for products with a high nutritive value that offers multiple health benefits increases. Collagen is widely used in supplements targeted toward the aging population. The demand for collagen-based supplements by the aging population is anticipated to increase health, immunity, and overall wellness. Moreover, due to increasing health concerns due to pandemics, consumers now focus on food and beverage product labels. This is projected to provide ample opportunities for pharmaceuticals and healthcare products. The outbreak of pandemic is forecasted to affect the daily operations of collagen manufacturing due to restrictions on transportation and a shortage of laborers. However, the pandemic is anticipated to boost the sales of collagen during the study period, as it attracts attention from health-conscious consumers of different end products in which collagen is used, such as food, beverages, and nutritional products.

Post pandemic crisis, major collagen manufacturers have invested in the development of various products related to native collagen in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and other sectors. Furthermore, the increase in awareness of the advantages of native collagen for elderly people due to pandemic outbreak have led to increase in the demand which will have positive impact on the market during the forecast period.
