The collagen casing market was valued at US$ 1432.5 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 2672.6 million by 2033. The overall sales of collagen casings globally are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2033.
Collagen sausage casing market players fabricate casings from collagen, which is derived from the corium layer of animal hide, including cattle hide. Collagen-rich tissue is standardized under high pressure, ring-thrust, and eventually hardened, which results in a mechanically robust collagen casing.
Development in the accessibility of processed meat products gives rise to increased average meat consumption across both, emerging and developed markets. This has led to the popularity of different types of sausages which, in turn, is flourishing the collagen casings market.
edible collagen casings
Continuous investments over many years by key manufacturers have enabled the provision of modern, unique, safe, and secure collagen sausage casing. Such new casings work more efficiently on sausage production lines at much higher speeds and produce better sausage products that are widely accepted by end-users.
The two significant varieties of collagen casings available widely and commercially are edible collagen casings and non-edible collagen casings. Lower-cost prospects for sausage providers, combined with consumer acceptance, continue to drive the demand for edible or beef collagen casings.
