Global Collagen Peptides Market Size is valued at USD 0.77 Bn in 2025 and is predicted to reach USD 1.36 Bn by the year 2035 at an 6.0% CAGR during the forecast period for 2026 to 2035.
Collagen Peptides Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Source (Bovine, Porcine, Marine & Poultry), By Form (Dry, Liquid), By Application (Food & Beverages, Nutritional Products, Cosmetics & Personal Care Products, and Pharmaceuticals), Region, and Segment Forecasts, 2026 to 2035
The growing demand for functional foods, dietary supplements, beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, technological advancements in collagen extraction techniques, and the constant efforts in R&D activities by the companies operating in the collagen peptides market would provide lucrative opportunities for product innovations and improvements.
In recent years, collagen peptides have evolved in popularity in the health and wellness industry. In addition, they are widely used in the food industry to produce candies and chocolates. The collagen peptides can help improve skin and bone health as well.
However, several other alternatives, like alginate, cellulose, polylactic acid, etc., have been used in regenerative medicine, which is anticipated to hinder the growth of the collagen peptides market.
The collagen peptides market is segmented based on source, application, and form. The source segment comprises bovine, porcine, marine & poultry. By application, the collagen peptides market is categorized into food & beverages, nutritional products, cosmetics & personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. The form segment has two groups: dry and liquid.
By source, the bovine group dominated the market in 2022. Technological advances have made obtaining collagen from different sources more comfortable, providing a variety of collagen peptide products to meet specific preferences and diet needs. Bovine-based production of collagen peptides is an economical process. Animal products such as cow skin, bones, ligaments and other body parts are readily available as they are the most consumed meat in the world. The augmented production of collagen peptides and the ease of availability of raw materials are projected to drive market expansion over the forecast period.
By application, the food & beverages segment led the collagen peptides market share in 2022. This growth can be attributed to collagen properties like peptides’ absorption capacity, texturizing, & thickening. Collagen is one of the most critical proteins in the human body, providing support to tissues and muscles. This will encourage the use of collagen peptides in food products, thereby supporting industry revenue growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, collagen peptides are used in dietary supplements to maintain healthy and active lifestyles. Cosmetics & personal care products are also expected to raise the demand for collagen peptides in the forthcoming years. For instance, in December 2022, Nitta Gelatin, a collagen peptide supplier, announced that its freshwater fish collagen peptides had been certified to Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standards. The ingredients are part of Nitta Gelatin’s Wellnex Replenwell line of collagen peptides that helps in reducing the visible signs of skin ageing, including wrinkles, dryness, and loss of elasticity.
Europe is one of the leading regions in the pharmaceutical industry. Hence, collagen peptides are widely used in biomedical applications. Major players such as Tessenderlo Group (Belgium), Gelita AG (Belgium), and Lapi Gelatine S.p.A (Italy) are headquartered in this region, making Europe an important area for the collagen peptide market.
Some factors contributing to regional growth are growing public health awareness, well-established industries, and R&D investments for product innovations.
