The growing usage of collagen in various cosmetic products is majorly propelling the growth of the APAC collagen market. Approximately 2% of the cosmetic products in India use collagen. Some of the everyday collagen products are skin conditioning agents, soaps, shampoos, and other skincare products. In recent years, people have been more interested in paying more attention to their beauty due to changing lifestyles. Especially the working force is always busy and needs more time to care for their skin. Therefore, these people choose to have collagen-based foods and drinks that help keep the skin healthy and moist. In addition, the increasing aging population across the Asia-Pacific region contributes to the collagen market growth. With increasing age, protein production starts to slow down, resulting in acne, wrinkles, and dryness. As a result, collagen-based drugs and drinks help in increasing the protein content in the body.

The growing manufacturing activities of various collagen-related products further fuel the growth of the collagen market in the Asia-Pacific region. The key market participants are focused on producing different types of collagen-based products, which are also available in different forms such as powder, solid, liquid, and gel forms. In addition, they also manufacture collagen-based drugs for vegetarian and non-vegetarian people, animals, and plants. Collagen is primarily found in chicken, fish, pork and others.

In addition, to improve skin hydration and reduce wrinkles, several college drinks are manufactured by industry participants.

On the other hand, cultural prohibition on consuming animal-based collagens among several religions is hampering the collagen market growth in the APAC region. In addition, there needs to be more technological advancements in the use of collagen in various sectors, and the lack of such advancements is also resulting in the declining growth rate of the market in this region. Furthermore, a lack of awareness about the benefits of collagen and insufficient availability of collage-based foods and drinks in some rural areas are further impede the collagen market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
