Collagen Peptides Market Dynamics

DRIVER : Increase demand for collagen peptides in the cosmetics and personal care products industry

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

For cosmetic applications, collagen peptide is used for soft tissue augmentation, cosmetic surgery, and face and hand rejuvenation. It is used in dermal filler to improve volume deficiencies and to improve the contour of the face. As the population ages globally and per capita incomes rise, the demand for collagen peptides market used in cosmetics and personal care products is poised to rise in the coming times.

RESTRAINT : Cultural restrictions on the consumption of animal-sourced products

Collagen peptides are animal by-products formed from the collagen of slaughtered animals, which includes hoovers, hides, and bones of cattle, poultry, fish, and pigs. In certain regions of the world, the consumption of certain animal are forbidden due to religious reasons.  For example, Muslim communities and Middle Eastern countries refrain from consuming pig and related product.  In India, beef is forbidden among Hindus. Therefore, in these regions, market for collagen derived from cows and pigs is estimated to be negligible.

In India, the consumption of cattle-derived products is culturally forbidden. The Hindu community does not consume beef and beef-derived products. Hence, they prefer pork-based collagen peptides. The other example is the Jewish population, which largely prefers consuming kosher-certified products. Kosher guidelines also inhibit the consumption of pigs and pig-derived products. These cultural and regional outlooks pose a restraint for the growth of collagen peptides market.

Opportunity: Promotion of healthy diet 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.

Government associations and organizations such as WHO, and FAO promote the consumption of healthy diet to propel consumer awareness, skills, preferences, attitutes, and behavior regarding diet and nutrition. These organizations have been involved in promoting healthy eating. For instance, in March 2019, the USDA announced the launch of the “Start Simple with MyPlate Campaign” to improve the busy lifestyle of Americans concerning health and well-being over time.

Hydrolyzed collagen has a wide application in nutritional foods and dietary supplements that are being consumed at a large scale by consumers. Government initiatives toward a healthy lifestyle would lead to an increase in the demand for these products, directly affecting the collagen peptides market.

Challenge: Ethical and sustainability concerns

Collagen peptides are primarily sourced from animal by-products, such as bovine hides, fish scales, or chicken cartilage. Ethical and sustainability concerns related to animal welfare, overfishing, and environmental impact can pose challenges for the collagen industry.

According to a survey conducted by Deloitte in March 2021 to study consumer attitudes and behaviors around sustainability, consumers are increasingly making conscious decisions with sustainability and the environment in mind. As consumers become more conscious of these issues, there is a growing demand for responsibly sourced collagen peptides, which requires careful attention to sourcing and production practices. Due to these factors, the manufacturers in the industry are challenged to lookout for alternate resources of collagen such as plant sources to keep up with the consumer trends related to sustainability.
