The Gelatin: Insights Into & Future of the Worldwide Market 2016-2024 report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Gelatin continues to see demand from the food sector. Gelatin comes mainly from bovine hides and pig skin, but there is increasing interest in non-mammalian sources of gelatin such as fish. Halal gelatin is also emerging as a niche market segment in the food and pharma sectors. In pharmaceuticals, low awareness and a lack of stringent religious restrictions is holding back progress for halal gelatin.
There are however many gelatin alternatives, such as carrageenan, rice
starch and xanthan gum. These are growing in popularity. Potato-based
starch solutions in particular are set to replace gelatin in sugar confectionery.
Europe dominates global consumption, while the Asia-Pacific region spearheads current and future market growth.
Hindrances to growth include cultural and religious specifications, ethical concerns, and a shift to vegetarianism.
Among the findings:
- Developing countries in Asia offer potential growth opportunities
- A bright outlook is projected for the gelatin market in India, with the country being a leading exporter
- Edible gelatin is driving growth in China, especially demand for functional foods
- In Australia, osteoarthritis is driving demand for gelatin supplements
- The pharmaceutical sector is a leading market for gelatin in India
