The growing demand for processed foods is expected to propel the growth of the collagen sausage casings market going forward. Processed foods refer to food items that have been altered from their original form through methods designed to improve shelf life, flavor, texture, appearance, or convenience. Demand for processed foods continues to rise due to busy lifestyles, affordability, extended shelf life, and the need for convenient meal options. Collagen sausage casings play a critical role in processed food production by enabling efficient, uniform, and large-scale sausage manufacturing, one of the most widely consumed processed meat products. For instance, in July 2025, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, a Canada-based government department, the food and beverage processing sector remained the country’s largest manufacturing industry in 2024, generating $173.4 billion in production value. This accounted for 20.3% of total manufacturing sales and contributed 1.6% to Canada’s GDP. Exports of processed food and beverage products reached a record $59.8 billion, up 3.8% from 2023, representing 34.5% of the industry’s total production value. Therefore, the growing demand for processed foods is driving the collagen sausage casings market.

Major companies operating in the collagen sausage casings market are focusing on innovative production techniques, particularly automation in sausage manufacturing, to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability. Automation in sausage production involves the use of advanced machinery to manage processes such as filling, portioning, linking, hanging, and packaging, reducing labor dependency while increasing throughput and product uniformity. For example, in August 2023, Handtmann, a Germany-based provider of food production equipment, launched the PVLH 251 AL system for medium-scale and industrial sausage producers. This system enables automated portioning, linking, and hanging of sausages in peel-off and collagen casings and integrates seamlessly with Handtmann’s vacuum fillers and monitoring control systems. Designed to streamline production from filling through packaging, the solution helps manufacturers meet rising demand while maintaining consistent quality.

In April 2023, SARIA Group, a Germany-based company operating in the food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical sectors, acquired Devro plc to strengthen its position in collagen-based solutions. This acquisition expands SARIA's portfolio with Devro's expertise in edible films and coatings, enhancing its offerings in natural sausage casings. Devro plc, headquartered in the UK, is renowned for manufacturing food-grade collagen casings.
