Increasing Animal Welfare Responsibilities
Collagen supplements are sourced from various animals such as pigs and cows. According to Faunanltics, a total of about 293.2 million cattle were slaughtered in 2020, whereas pigs accounted to be over 1.5 billion. The high use of these animals in collagen supplement production is resulting in animal cruelty. With the increased animal welfare conditions globally, the demand for these collagen supplements is reducing.
Various animal welfare organizations such as the World Organization for Animal Health and the International Fund of Animal Welfare are actively participating to protect animal rights and prevent animal cruelty. Further, the cultural restriction on the consumption of certain animal-sourced products can hinder market growth in certain regions.
According to the World Animal Foundation stats of 2023, there are more than 88 million vegans present in the world. The increasing vegan population can be one of the major restraining factors for collagen supplements that are sourced from animals, restraining the market for bovine and porcine collagen supplements.
