Collagen Casing Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Edible and Non-edible), Caliber (Large Calibers and Small Calibers), Application (Fresh Sausages, Salami, Meat-Based Snacks, Dry-Cured Sausages, Processed Sausages and Other Applications), End User (Food Processing Organizations, Food Service Providers, Food Retail, Industrial Food Processing, Butcheries and Meat Processors and Other End Users) and Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Collagen Casing Market is accounted for $1773.89 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $2752.96 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. The creation of numerous processed or value-added meat products requires collagen casings. Animal intestines or skin are used to create the casing. The material is next formed using the extrusion technique, producing a single sausage casing with a long length. Chinese and European sausages both use collagen extensively. These casings are thick and sheer, smoke-permeable, and typically peeled off after cooking. The significant shift in consumer preference towards healthy diet patterns, particularly among millennials, and the rising acceptance of synthetic collagen casing on a global scale are the key factors propelling the growth of the global collagen casing market.

According to agricultural financial institution Rabobank, as of April 2020, U.S. meat production declined by 20% compared to 2020. This decline in meat production is expected to increase the prices of meat products, thereby increasing collagen casings.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Surge in consumer preference for meat-based snacks and products

The rising demand for processed food products that are simple to prepare and serve has been influenced by factors such as globalisation, regional demographics, cultural influences, changing lifestyles, and the corresponding changing food habits. Snack and savoury product consumption has risen recently in both developed and developing nations. Western nations like the UK, Italy, the US, Germany, and Poland have particularly high sausage consumption rates. Sausages have a strong growth potential due to the widespread acceptance of frozen foods in the colder nations.

Restraint:

Animal Diseases

The outbreak of animal diseases, which has a short-term effect on meat consumption and makes people steer clear of processed meat. The BSE/Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease) crisis and the avian flu outbreak are two actual examples. There have been BSE outbreaks in some nations, and it's possible that humans could contract the disease by eating meat from infected animals. This has exacerbated existing anti-meat sentiments and may be partially to blame for the drop in beef consumption in some nations, which will ultimately pose a challenge to the expansion of the collagen casings market globally.

Opportunity:

Thriving food and beverage industry

Important factors like the expanding global population, rising disposable incomes supporting consumers' purchasing power for food, and changing dietary preferences are boosting market expansion. The market for collagen casing is expanding due to China's high consumption of products like beef, pork, and sheep that are used to make collagen casing.

Threat:

Health Concerns

A diet high in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and low in processed meat and red meat has long been advised by the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society's Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention advise avoiding red meat and processed meat in favour of fish, poultry, or beans. The casing market will be challenged by how consumers respond to these announcements and suggestions as they may eventually have an impact on meat consumption levels. The use of collagen casing in food products can pose a risk of foodborne illness if the casing is not processed or stored properly.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted the meat industry in developing countries such as Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Supply chains were disrupted, and consumption of processed meat products fell. For instance, the National Health Commission of China has published coronavirus control guidelines for meat producers, including those who import livestock and poultry products. Additionally, compared to the same two weeks in 2019, number of cattle slaughtered in the United States dropped by 19% in the second and third weeks of April 2020. The market conditions for processed meat may make collagen casings for sausages made from animal meat less popular.

The Processed Sausages segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The processed sausages segment held the largest market share for collagen casings and is expected to hold the largest share throughout the forecast period. The increased demand for ready-to-eat premium meat products, the wider variety of processed goods available through more distribution channels, and the growing preference of craft food producers for cutting-edge processing techniques like smoking technology are all major contributors to this segment's dominance.

The Edible segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

During the forecast period, the edible segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth. The extraction process is used to create edible collagen casings, typically from the hide of cattle. Both straight and curved edible collagen casings are available. They are widely used in hotdogs, smoked and polished sausage, snack sticks, bratwurst, Italian sausage, pepperoni, breakfast links, and many other ethnic sausages.

Region with largest share:

Due to the region's developed food industry and rising demand for sausages, North America currently dominates the collagen casings market and will maintain this position throughout the forecast period. With more than 50% of the global market, North America is the region with the largest market for collagen casings. The meat industry is thriving and there is a large population in North America which is driving the regions growth.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period. The enormous demand for sausages among the populace is primarily responsible for Europe's dominance. The demand for nutritious and healthy products has increased as a result of the changing lifestyles of European consumers. Meat products with a longer shelf life and easier storage are preferred by customers and retail establishments. Furthermore, the market for collagen casings in Europe is also driven by the expansion of the food industry.

Key Developments:

In November 25th 2022, Viscofan has successfully completed the tests to use green hydrogen as fuel in one of the cogeneration engines located in the production plant of Cáseda (Spain) that serves to provide hot water, steam and electricity to this production center. The objective of this test was to check the efficiency and reliability of the motors in continuous use with the same energy supply requirements of the production plant in Cáseda.

In 25 January 2022, The institutional ceremony was held with the launch of the 5G coverage network stemming from the partnership between Viscofan and Telefónica to equip the former’s production centre in Cáseda (Navarre) with 5G coverage, thus making it the first Spanish industrial company in the food sector to use this technology at its factories to advance its digitisation process. This strategy will allow the Navarrese multinational to begin developing its “smart” factories.
