    Drivers

    Increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry drives the market.

    The pharmaceutical industry is a major consumer of gelatin for several purposes. Gelatin is used to form a soft or hard shell covering a medicinal drug. It does not react with the active ingredients filled within and prevents the drug from oxidation or contamination thereby ensuring its prolonged shelf life. The rapid growth in the world population has led to a shortage of medicines, which has encouraged the players in the market to avail affordable generic medicines along with the mainstream drugs. This has fueled the pharmaceutical market which ultimately drives the global gelatin market.

    Diverse applications of gelatin in the food & cosmetics industry are expected to fuel the market.

    Gelatin is used for emulsification, thickening, or binding in various product formulations. This makes it an essential ingredient in the food and cosmetic industries.  It is imparted in various protein powders, health supplements, and skin & hair care cosmetics as it provides a collagen boost to the human body. It is enriched with essential amino acids that help improve overall skin, bone, hair, nails, and muscular health. Its multifaceted benefits are anticipated to drive the market.

    Restraints

    Increasing demand for plant-based alternatives of gelatin is likely to restrain the market.

    Gelatin is traditionally obtained from connective tissues of livestock animals, pigs, and fishes. These animals are not treated ethically to get this yield. The increasing awareness regarding the same among a majority of consumers refrains them from buying animal-derived gelatin. Plant-based gelatin alternatives such as corn starch, agar agar, and carrageenan have equal gelling properties as gelatin. They are also available at competitive rates in the market.

    Gelling agents such as agar agar efficiently resist high temperatures, compared to zoonotic gelatin. Cornstarch is widely used to provide desired viscosity, texture, and thickening in bakeries and confectionaries. The rising global awareness of these plant-based gelling agents and their growing availability in the local market are likely to hamper the global gelatin market in the coming years.

The rising innovation in healthcare is anticipated to fuel this market in the coming years.

    Latest Trends

    Growing consumer shift toward purchasing food having religious compliance is expected to drive the market.

    Halal or Kosher, meaning permitted gelatin is derived from bovine and marine sources. This kind of gelatin is popular in regions with Christian, Islamic, and Jewish majorities as the communities refrain from consuming products derived from porcine derivatives. The increasing demand for such foods from regions with Islamic and Christian majorities is projected to fuel the gelatin market in the coming years.

    The rising trend of clean-label food products creates lucrative opportunities for the market.

    Clean-label food is minimally processed food, imparted with natural ingredients. The growing popularity of such foods is mainly attributed to the rising consumer awareness regarding the ill effects on health due to the consumption of processed foods. Clean-label foods assure the quality and purity of the products which attracts the health conscious customers. As gelatin is manufactured from a natural source, it is considered as a food ingredient and not an additive, in clean-label foods. Additionally, the product is also non-GMO i.e., it is not genetically modified and is cholesterol free. This adds to its appeal to health-conscious consumers, thereby creating several growth opportunities for the market.

    Geopolitical Impact Analysis

    Geopolitical factors and recession exert a significant influence on the global gelatin market, shaping its growth trajectory and dynamic. The market was also impacted during the 2020 Brexit scenario which took place as the UK’s official exit from the EU. This increased the gelatin costs due to newly imposed regulatory complexities on import and export.

    The depreciation in the currency of the UK impacted the profit margins for locally based players. Furthermore, the trade war between the US & China similarly impacts the market due to the heavy tariffs for importing the gelatin from China which further impacted the gelatin market of China on the regional level.

    Regional Analysis

    Europe is leading the gelatin Market.

    Europe dominated the market with the largest share of 39.6% and a revenue of 1.30 billion owing to the rapidly surging food industry in the region. Countries such as France, Italy, and Germany are leading consumers of gelatin. This is attributed to the booming bakery and confectionary industries in these countries. The traditional popularity of desserts such as marshmallows and jellies fuels the market. Countries such as the UK have significant medical pharmaceutical infrastructure.

    Therefore, gelatin is high in demand in the production of various biomedical surgical equipment and as excipients in pharmaceuticals.
