Meticulous Research®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, ‘Collagen Casings Market Size, Share, Forecast, & Trends Analysis by Type (Edible, Non-Edible), Caliber (Small, Large), Application (Fresh Sausages, Processed Sausages), End User (Food Service Providers, Food Retail), Distribution Channel -Global Forecast to 2031.’
According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the collagen casings market is projected to reach $2.31 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2024–2031. The growth of this market can be attributed to several factors, including rising meat consumption & production, increasing preference for collagen casings by sausage manufacturers, rising number of restaurants, and rising consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) & ready-to-cook (RTC) food products. However, consumer preference for natural sausage casings over collagen casings may restrain market growth. Moreover, emerging economies- Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa are expected to create market growth opportunities. However, animal diseases and health concerns pose a significant challenge to the market’s growth.
Key Players
Some of the key players operating in the collagen casings market are Viscofan, S.A. (Spain), Devro Plc (U.K.), Shenguan Holdings (Group) Limited (China), DAT-Schaub Group (Part of Danish Crown Amba) (Denmark), ViskoTeepak Holding Ab Ltd. (Finland), Fibran, S.A. (Spain), Nippi, Inc. (Japan), FABIOS S.A. (Poland), Oversea Casing Company (U.S.), LEM Products (U.S.), Selo B.V. (The Netherlands), and Belkozin (Russia).
Key Growth Drivers in the Collagen Casings Market:
Urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and evolving eating habits have triggered a global appetite for processed, ready-to-eat, and ready-to-cook meat products such as sausages and hot dogs. As lifestyles get busier, the demand for convenient protein-rich foods is soaring, particularly in metropolitan centers and emerging economies. Collagen casings streamline production for manufacturers—they require less time, offer greater mechanical strength, and provide uniformity unmatched by traditional gut casings. By reducing labor costs and enhancing production throughput, these casings have become essential for both artisanal and industrial meat producers.
The rapid expansion of the food service sector—including restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses—has also fueled demand. Automated meat processing lines now rely heavily on collagen casings for consistent quality and efficient operation. Innovations such as integrating spices, flavors, and coloring agents into collagen casings further support product diversification, catering to increasingly sophisticated consumer palates.
Plant-Based Collagen Alternatives: Disruption or Opportunity:
While animal-derived collagen dominates the market today, the influx of plant-based and vegan alternatives could reshape the landscape over the next decade. Emerging brands are developing plant-derived casings to satisfy growing vegetarian and vegan segments, appealing especially to health-conscious and environmentally-aware consumers. Although these products currently represent a modest share of the market, their rapid development could attract investment and spark technological advancements among traditional collagen players.
Established multinationals may diversify their portfolios to include both animal- and plant-based options, thus hedging against changing dietary preferences. However, the majority of consumption is expected to remain rooted in meat-centric applications through 2031, with plant-based alternatives acting more as a complement than a replacement in the foreseeable future.
Regional Growth Rates: North America vs. Asia Pacific:
North America remains a major market for collagen casings, underpinned by entrenched meat consumption, broad adoption of processed foods, and strong foodservice infrastructure. However, the Asia Pacific region is setting the pace for growth, with the highest forecasted CAGR during the analysis period. Dynamic urbanization, increasing affluence, and surging adoption of Western dietary patterns are spurring meat and sausage demand across China, India, Southeast Asia, and adjacent regions.
Asia Pacific’s exponential growth is further propelled by rising away-from-home food consumption, swelling middle class populations, and an accelerating shift toward convenience foods. North America will retain its global significance, but the real momentum over the next decade will likely come from emerging Asian markets as they modernize supply chains and broaden distribution channels.
Top Five Market Share Leaders: The Companies Controlling 62%:
The collagen casings industry is moderately concentrated, with the top five companies commanding approximately 62% of global market share. Leading the pack is Spain’s Viscofan Group, reflecting unmatched production capacity and global distribution reach. Following closely are Devro PLC (UK), a global innovator in edible collagen technology; Shenguan Holdings (China), which has a dominant footprint in Asia; DAT-Schaub Group (Denmark), known for its R&D and supply chain scale; and Nippi Collagen NA Inc. (Japan), a specialist in premium collagen materials.
