Europe Hydrolyzed Collagen Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Source and Application

The Europe hydrolyzed collagen market is expected to grow from US$ 230.79 million in 2019 to US$ 341.95 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2020 to 2027. Collagen is a major structural protein found in the skin, tendon, and bone of vertebrates. 10 different types of collagens have been recognized among vertebrates, and the Type I is a dominant variant. Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen hydrolysate, are collagen derivatives comprising short chains of amino acids. Shorter amino acid chains make collagen hydrolysates more bioavailable and facilitate better absorption into bloodstream, compared to collagen and gelatin. The absorbed hydrolyzed collagen is utilized by body as a versatile source of protein and energy. It is carried to different body tissues wherein cells build the peptides in the form of full-length collagen helices to repair the skin, bones, and joints. Its nutritional and physiological properties promote the maintenance of bone, joint, and skin health.

The pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals segment led the Europe hydrolyzed collagen market based on application in 2019. Rising consumption of dietary supplements is boosting the demand for hydrolyzed collagen in the nutraceuticals industry. The growing interest in collagen as pharmaceutical as well as nutraceutical substance is mainly attributed to its low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility. Hydrolyzed collagen is primarily supplied in a powder form and has higher bioavailability than gelatin (90% vs. 85.97% absorption). It can be administered through hot, warm, or cold water. It improves hair and nail growth, reduces joint pain, and boosts metabolism.
