Hydrolyzed collagen is a versatile product with a wide scope of applications across several industries. It is the most abundantly found structural protein in animals such as cows, pigs, and fish, especially in their connective tissues, skin, bones, and tendons. This protein comprises three major amino acids: proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline. In its native form, collagen is not absorbed by the body easily due to the large size of the molecules. Hydrolyzed collagen has a high bioavailability and better absorption, as the larger collagen molecules are broken down into smaller peptide bonds using hydrolysis. This broadens its application across various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, personal care and cosmetics, medical, pet food, animal feed, packaging, and agriculture. Hydrolyzed collagen is widely used as a functional ingredient and as a stabilizing, thickening, texturizing, and gelling agent in various food products and beverages, including baked goods, soups, sauces, condiments, nutritional bars, smoothies, functional drinks, and yogurt. It is also used as a clarifying agent in beverages such as wine, beer, and fruit juices. Hydrolyzed collagen is also used in the pet food, animal feed, packaging, and agriculture industries. In pet food, it is incorporated to reduce joint pain and inflammation in senior dogs and cats; promote bone and muscle development in younger, growing pets; and improve skin and coat. In the packaging industry, it finds applications in the development of bioplastics and films, especially for food-grade packaging. In the agriculture industry, it is used in organic fertilizers as a soil enrichment ingredient.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Market Breakdown – By Region

In the past, there was a high emphasis on using makeup to achieve a more youthful appearance. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift in preference toward a proactive and holistic approach to maintaining health and natural radiance as people age. Thus, consumers are moving away from the traditional idea of anti-aging toward the concept of graceful aging, which reflects a focus on longevity and overall quality of life. The beauty industry has recently embraced a "back to basics" philosophy instead of relying on external solutions such as makeup and surgeries to mask imperfections, making nutricosmetics a key part of this movement.

The hydrolyzed collagen market analysis has been performed by considering the following segments: source, form, and application. Based on the source, the market is segmented into bovine, porcine, poultry, marine, and others. The marine segment is expected to register a significant CAGR from 2025 to 2031. In terms of form, the hydrolyzed collagen market is bifurcated into granules or agglomerated and powder or non-agglomerated. The powder or non-agglomerated segment held a significant market share in 2024.

Hydrolyzed marine collagen, which includes smaller, more digestible peptides, is obtained by hydrolyzing the collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and scales of aquatic organisms such as fish and shrimps. It can be obtained from wild-caught fish and farmed fish. This type of collagen is gaining strong traction among consumers as it helps minimize the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, joint pain, lower bone density, and weakness. It is among the sustainable sources of hydrolyzed collagen, witnessing high demand across food & beverages, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and personal care industries. Consumers from various communities prefer marine collagen as it adheres to their religious dietary requirements.
