Market Definition
Collagen is a fibrous structural protein of connective tissue. It is rich in proline and glycine and yields gelatin on hydrolysis. Gelatin is a partially hydrolyzed protein of collagen. Collagen and gelatin are natural biomaterials and are mainly used in wound care and orthopedic applications.
The report covers collagen and gelatin derived from bovine, porcine, and other sources (marine collagen; collagen obtained from chicken, rats, duck, and equine tendons; and recombinant collagen). The report’s scope is restricted to collagen and gelatin end products used for medical applications only. The use of collagen and gelatin as an intermediate product/raw material for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing (to produce hard capsules, softgel capsules, tablet binding or coating, components, or vaccines) and biotechnology applications (such as biomaterials, bioprinting) are not considered in the scope of this report.
