UAE Pharmaceutical Gelatin Market – Overview

Gelatin is a translucent, colorless protein that is naturally soluble in water. It is a protein made from uncooked animal products. Collagen, the most prevalent protein in the animal kingdom with large amounts seen in connective tissues, is partially hydrolyzed to produce it. Gelatin is utilized as a basic material in emergency medicine to create blood substitutes like plasma expanders. These boost the fluid in the bloodstream, avoiding hypovolemic shock. Gelatin is a protein-rich food that contains amino acids that may improve cognitive function, lessen the effects of aging on the skin, and lessen joint and bone discomfort.

Segmental Information

UAE Pharmaceutical Gelatin Market – By Application

Based on application, the UAE Pharmaceutical Gelatin market is segmented into hard capsules, soft-gel capsules, tablets, absorbable hemostats, and others. Hard capsules dominate the UAE pharmaceutical gelatin market. A hard gelatin capsule is a type of capsule that is usually used to contain medicine in the form of dry powder or very small pellets. The growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising consumption of oral medications including tablets and hard gelatin capsules. However, soft-gel capsules are projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on the UAE Pharmaceutical Gelatin Market

The COVID-19 pandemic initially hindered the UAE pharmaceutical gelatin market due to the decline in demand and consumption of animal products. The supply chain restrictions on the pharmaceutical trade also negatively impacted the market growth. However, gelatin emerged as a crucial element in the production of COVID-19 vaccines. In order to stabilize the drug's components and guarantee their effectiveness throughout the distribution process, gelatin derived from pig and cow products is frequently utilized in vaccinations. Although concerns rose regarding the use of pork gelatin in vaccines among the Muslim community of the country, the top Islamic authority in the United Arab Emirates stated on December 23, 2020, that COVID-19 vaccinations are acceptable for Muslims, even if they include pig gelatin.
