Market Overview

Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body and animals providing structure, strength, and support throughout the body. The three main forms of collagen are type I collagen, which occurs in bone, tendon, and cartilage; type II collagen, which is found in cartilage; and type III, which is present in skin and vasculature. Collagen is widely used in gelatin production as well as used in medical and cosmetic applications. The hydrolysed form of collagen is used in cosmetic preparations and skin care products as an anti-wrinkle agent and enhances skin texture, improves the general condition of the skin, and delays the aging process. There is a surge in demand from a number of industries including food & beverage, biomedical materials & devices, cosmetics & wellness, and pharmaceuticals due to the region’s increasing population. Technological advancements in collagen production lead to the development of innovative collagen-based products. For instance, the use of nanotechnology in collagen-based drug delivery systems leads to the development of targeted drug delivery systems.
