Native Collagen Market

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Native Collagen Market is accounted for $205.07 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $312.4 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. Native collagen refers to collagen protein extracted from natural sources such as animal tissues, typically of bovine or marine origin, in its unaltered and unhydrolyzed form. It retains its original molecular structure and bioactive properties, making it highly compatible with the human body. Native collagen is widely used in skincare, wound healing, and dietary supplements for its potential to promote collagen synthesis and tissue regeneration.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 67 million of the total U.S. population is likely to suffer from arthritis by 2025.

Market Dynamics: 

Driver: 

Growing anti-aging concerns

With an aging population and increasing awareness about skincare and wellness, there's a heightened demand for collagen-based products to address signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Native collagen, known for its natural compatibility with the human body and its ability to improve skin elasticity and hydration, is increasingly sought after in cosmetics and skincare formulations, driving market growth.

Restraint:

High production costs

The extraction and purification processes required to obtain high-quality collagen from natural sources can be intricate and expensive. Additionally, the need for stringent quality control measures further escalates production expenses. These elevated costs impact the final pricing of collagen-based products, making them less competitive compared to synthetic alternatives. Furthermore, the dependency on limited sources of raw materials also contributes to cost fluctuations, posing challenges for manufacturers in the market. 

Opportunity:

Increasing investment in research and development for novel collagen extraction methods

By leveraging advancements in technology and biotechnology, researchers can explore more efficient and cost-effective ways to extract collagen from natural sources. These innovations could lead to improved yields, higher purity levels, and reduced production costs, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness of collagen-based products. Moreover, R&D efforts may uncover novel applications and functionalities of collagen, expanding its potential market reach and driving further growth in the industry.

Threat:

Competition from alternative biomaterials and synthetic substitutes

Synthetic materials offer advantages such as consistent quality, lower production costs, and reduced reliance on natural resources. Additionally, advancements in biotechnology have led to the development of biomimetic materials that mimic the properties of native collagen. These substitutes often provide similar functionalities at a lower price point, posing a challenge for native collagen products to maintain market share and pricing competitiveness, especially in industries like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices.

Covid-19 Impact: 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the native collagen market. While there has been increased demand for collagen-based products in the healthcare sector, particularly for wound care and tissue regeneration applications, disruptions in the supply chain, reduced consumer spending, and shifting priorities have adversely affected market growth. However, the market is expected to rebound as economies recover and demand for collagen products resumes.

The food & beverages segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The food and beverages segment is anticipated to emerge as the largest during the forecast period in the native collagen market. This growth is attributed to the rising demand for collagen-infused products, including functional beverages, snacks, and supplements, driven by consumers' growing awareness of collagen's health benefits. Additionally, manufacturers' efforts to incorporate collagen into various food and beverage formulations to enhance nutritional value and promote skin health contribute to the segment's dominance in the market landscape.

The type I collagen segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The type I collagen segment is anticipated to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period in the native collagen market. This growth is attributed to the widespread applications of type I collagen in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and regenerative medicine. Type I collagen is abundant in nature and possesses excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, making it highly sought after for wound healing, tissue engineering, and cosmetic formulations, thus driving its market growth trajectory.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is poised to maintain its dominance in the native collagen market owing to the region's large consumer base and increasing disposable incomes, driving demand for collagen-based products in the cosmetics, healthcare, and food industries. Moreover, growing awareness of the benefits of native collagen and the presence of key market players investing in research and development further contribute to Asia Pacific's market leadership. Additionally, favorable government initiatives and expanding distribution networks bolster market growth in the region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is positioned for rapid growth in the native collagen market. The region boasts a robust healthcare infrastructure and a growing aging population, driving demand for collagen-based medical products and supplements. Additionally, stringent regulations favoring natural and biocompatible materials contribute to market expansion. Moreover, increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of native collagen in skincare and personal care products further stimulates market growth, making Europe a promising region for investment and market expansion.

Key Developments:

In September 2023, On the back of an oversubscribed $3.5 million seed round, cell-cultured collagen startup Jellatech plans to serve the high-value, low-volume biomedical market with its bio-identical human collagen before entering the food and drink space, says its chief scientific officer (CSO), Rob Schutte. The startup recently closed an oversubscribed seed funding round in which it raised $3.5 million, led by Nordic-based byFounders, with additional investment from Milano Investment Partners, Joyful VC, Siddhi Capital, Blustein, and more.

In June 2022, Jellatech reveals a major milestone in its mission to eliminate animals from the food system, starting with collagen and gelatin: after just two years of existence, the North Carolina team announces the successful development of a full-length, triple helical and functional collagen made from its own proprietary cell lines.
