[184 Pages Report] The Gelatin Market size was estimated at USD 5.33 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 5.72 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.48% to reach USD 8.84 billion by 2030.
Gelatin is a biopolymer derived from collagen, a natural protein that is extracted primarily from animal skin and bones through partial hydrolysis. The demand for functional and convenience food & beverage is rising due to its functional properties. The rising application in the pharmaceutical, medical, and biomedical industry is significantly increasing adoption of gelatin products. The growing demand for naturally sourced ingredients and clean label products is contributing to the market growth worldwide. However, Social and cultural reluctance related to gelatin may limit its market adoption. Increasing incidences and risks of pathogenic contamination also pose challenges for the market growth. Moreover, emerging use in fortified confectionary and sports nutrition are expected to create attractive opportunities for market growth. Potential application in the biodegradable packaging for foods is also expected to drive market growth in upcoming years.
Type: Increasing utilization of Type-B gelatin in food products
Type A Gelatin is obtained from porcine skin through acidic pretreatment with precise melting point and excellent film-forming capabilities. Type A Gelatin is predominantly used in the fabrication of soft capsules, as well as in confections such as marshmallows and gummy candies for superior gel strength and clarity. Type B Gelatin is produced mainly from bovine hides and involves an alkaline pretreatment process. Type B gelatin provides a longer setting time, which is advantageous for specific culinary uses such as the production of jellies and certain types of desserts.
Source: Rising inclination towards plant based gelatin sources
Bovine bone-derived gelatin is created by extracting collagen from cattle bones through a process of prolonged boiling. Bovine skin gelatin is known for its binding characteristics and is commonly used in the food industry to provide texture and consistency to products such as gummies, marshmallows, and dairy goods. Fish gelatin dissolves at lower temperatures and is praised for its lack of color and minimal flavor, making it ideal for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Poultry-based gelatin is a relatively new entrant in the gelatin market and is derived primarily from chicken sources. Poultry-based gelatin provides an alternative to traditional mammalian gelatins and benefits from being acceptable to specific consumer groups based on religious or dietary preferences. Plant-based alternatives to animal-sourced gelatin have gained popularity in response to vegetarian, vegan, and certain religious dietary needs. Plant-sourced gelatin are derived from Agar-Agar, Pectin, and Carrageenan sources, having improved heat-resistant properties than animal-based alternatives.
Function: Increased adoption of gelatin due to gelling properties
Gelatin is widely utilized to transform liquids into gel as a gelling agent. The gelling properties are leveraged to mold into various shapes, proving invaluable in foods such as jellies, desserts, and aspics. As a stabilizer, gelatin plays a critical role in maintaining quality and consistency by preventing the separation or degradation of a wide range of food products to stabilize emulsions, foams, and suspensions. Gelatin imparts viscosity to liquids without altering their taste as a thickening agent. Gelatin is crucial for creating syrups, gravies, and soups to achieve the desired consistency and mouthfeel due to its stabilizing properties.
Application: Rising applications in food & beverages industry
In the cosmetic industry, gelatin is utilized for its gelling, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties in cream-based products, emulsions, face masks, and hair care solutions to improve viscosity and provide a smooth texture. Gelatin often serves as a clarifying agent for wines and beers, removing tannins and other polyphenols to produce a more transparent product. Confectionery and bakery products utilize gelatin to achieve desired textures and consistencies. Gelatin’s role in the pharmaceutical industry is used for its encapsulating features, forming the base for hard and soft capsules used in medication delivery. Gelatin is utilized in the silver gelatin process in photography, which involves coating paper for producing photographic prints.
