Europe Collagen Market Analysis

The Europe Collagen Market size is estimated at USD 292.74 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 396.95 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.28% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The increasing demand for collagen as a key ingredient in various applications, such as dietary supplements and food additives (collagen is used in a wide spectrum of applications as a food additive, right from storage stability of confectionery and dairy products to the enhancement process and organoleptic properties of packaged food products), beverages, and meat products, has been driving the collagen market in Europe.
  • Additionally, the growing importance of a healthy lifestyle has attracted many companies to enter into the production of proteins and amino acid supplements, which is driving the demand for collagen and its derivatives. Companies such as Gelita AG are manufacturing collagen that is sourced from both bovine and fish, which are proven to significantly improve bone and skin health. Therefore, collagen finds increased application in skin care as well as nutricosmetics products in the scenario of the growing cosmetics industry of Europe. Collagen Lift Paris and Coveline Paris are the most consumed collagen drinks in the country, which are clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by up to 50% while improving skin elasticity and hydration.
  • Besides, collagen is one of the leading natural skincare ingredients targeting skin health and signs of aging. It can support the health of deep skin layers while providing visible beauty benefits from within. Also, collagen can improve the overall health of hair and skin. Increasing collagen levels can help skin look radiant and healthy, even reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging or environmental effects.
  • Also, with sustainability gaining traction in a world of growing demand for products, manufacturers of collagen, including gelatin and collagen peptides, are done in an environment-friendly manner. Manufacturers have started producing ingredients according to strict guidelines that minimize the environmental impact, thereby striving to invest and improve their green credentials. Thus, the increase in the number of players adopting and implementing various strategies to establish themselves and gain the trust of companies is, in turn, enabling rapid growth of the market.
  • The majority of consumers transitioning to plant-based diets renounce animal products for ethical reasons. However, health and fitness benefits are the primary factors for some. With the increasing number of consumers against the consumption of animal-sourced food, vegan protein is gaining higher tracking of consumers in the country, which ultimately restricts the growth potential of animal-sourced protein and amino acids derivatives, such as collagen, in human nutrition. The wide range of applications of collagen ingredients and awareness about the benefits of using collagen products are expected to drive the market in the upcoming years.
