Report Overview

The Middle East & Africa hydrolyzed bovine collagen market size was valued at USD 38.59 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% from 2023 to 2030. Increasing consumer spending capacities coupled with the popularity of skin surgeries has propelled the demand for hydrolyzed bovine collagen in the MEA region. The market witnesses fierce competition due to the presence of numerous international & domestic manufacturers. Key players penetrating the regions are involved in broadening their product portfolio and global presence. The market players are more inclined towards expansion in terms of distribution networks. Moreover, companies are investing in R&D activities to develop and increased their production plant capacity in order to meet the growing demand for bovine collagen in the Middle East and African countries.

Collagens are mostly hydrolyzed. In the hydrolyzation process, protein is broken down into smaller units, making it more digestible for human beings. Notable characteristics of these products include solubility in hot and cold liquids. Hydrolyzed collagen is unflavored, odorless, and easy to dissolve into smoothies, water, and fresh fruit juice. These characteristics of products make it easy to add to a diet.

The demand for hydrolyzed collagen is likely to increase in the coming times due to the growing demand for nutraceutical & food & beverage products globally. Hydrolyzed collagen-based nutraceuticals and food & beverage products help promote the growth of hair and nails as well as make the skin glow & shine and prevent bone erosion.

The key applications for hydrolyzed bovine-based products include food & beverages, healthcare, and cosmetics among others. Healthcare was the largest application segment of the industry in 2022 and is forecasted to retain its dominant position over the forecast period. The product is gaining popularity in the healthcare sector as a bone void filler owing to its ability to encourage bone development. It is used for various applications in the cosmetics industry due to the high demand for cosmetic surgeries and wound healing treatments.

The food & beverages segment is expected to register the highest growth over the forecast period owing to the spurring demand for dietary supplements and functional food and beverages coupled with the strong presence of food & beverages manufacturers in Middle East countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others. The rising popularity of the product as a cosmetic ingredient to prevent aging effects such as wrinkles is expected to open new market avenues over the forecast period. However, concerns regarding the transfer of diseases have hindered market growth. The industry is regulated by laws and regulations governing the animal-based raw materials and ingredients that are used in the production of the product. The European Parliament has been instrumental in framing such regulations.

Product Insights

Type I hydrolyzed bovine collagen dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 41% in 2022. This is attributable to its wide usage in the healthcare and food & beverages industry, especially in the production of dietary supplements as well as in cosmetic product formulations.

Hydrolyzed type I collagen is derived from cows and other bovine. It is a naturally occurring extracellular matrix protein, which is commonly found in connective tissue and tendons. This type of product plays a significant role in promoting cell growth, and migration. It finds widespread applications in various end-use industries such as food & beverage, healthcare, and pharmaceutical.

The use of hydrolyzed type II collagen in wound dressings along with its superior performance in Living Skin Substitutes (LSS) is expected to drive its demand over the forecast period. Hydrolyzed type II is likely to witness an increase in demand in the healthcare industry as the product is highly recommended for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Form Insights

Dry product form dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 68% in 2022. This is attributable to the increasing demand for food products and beverages in the Middle East & Africa region.

Hydrolyzed bovine collagen powder form is considered the standard form of collagen. The dry form of these products is versatile and easy to use. They can be easily blended into coffee, bone broth, and pancakes. These products tend to easily dissolve into warm liquids. The agglomerated collagen powders or dry collagens offer a number of advantages such as no lump formation and clogging. They have excellent flowability and ensure high batch-to-batch consistency in products. High-quality collagen powders eliminate the requirement of adding sweeteners to make them consumable. They are free from any bitter aftertaste.

Liquid collagens are clearer and more soluble than other proteins. The key advantage of these products is that they can be used over a wide range of concentrations and pH without compromising on their performance and food quality. The viscosity of food products can be altered from watery to syrup-like liquids by increasing the concentration of collagens in them. Thus, liquid collagens can be used in products such as protein bars and beverages.

Application Insights

Healthcare application dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 48% in 2022. This is attributable to the rising application of hydrolyzed bovine collagen in multiple healthcare applications, especially in wound dressing as well as cosmetic surgeries.

Bovine collagen is used to manufacture wound covers, which have a high demand as a dressing material for severe burns and sores. These wound covers can absorb tissue secretions, which results in faster healing of the affected area. In addition, these dressing materials act as a shield against bacterial infection and mechanical harm. As a result, the demand for hydrolyzed bovine collagen is expected to increase in treatments involving human surgeries.

Variety of collagens are used to gel aspics, head cheese, souse, chicken rolls, glazed and canned hams, and jellied meat products of all kinds. It acts as a binding agent for the meat juices and gives form and structure to products that would otherwise fall apart. Normal usage level ranges from 1 to 5% depending upon the type of meat, amount of broth, gelatin bloom, and texture desired in the final product. It is also used as an edible film and coating for food products. These films and coatings impart a longer shelf life to the food.

Country Insights

Saudi Arabia dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 12% in 2022. This is attributable to the increasing consumption of the product in cosmetic formulations.

The demand for bovine medical-grade purified collagen in the Middle East & Africa is expected to grow over the forecast period owing to the increasing focus of the masses, especially of the young population, on personal health, fitness, and skincare. However, the popularity of marine-based products is rising in the healthcare sector of the region, specifically for manufacturing biomaterials as it offers good physical and chemical properties, as well as promote tissue growth and accelerates the wound healing process.

Moreover, the risk of transferring diseases from fish to humans due to the consumption of marine collagen is very low. Thus, the increasing popularity of such products can hamper the demand for bovine collagen globally as well as in Middle East & Africa region during the forecast period.
