Collagen Casings Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Product(edible and nonedible), By Caliber(small and large), By Application(Fresh Sausages, Cooked Sausages, Dry-Cured Sausages, Meat-based Snacks), By End use(Industrial Food Processing, Foodservice, Private Label, Butcheries and Meat Processors), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Collagen Casings Market size was valued at USD 1.48 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 1.57 billion in 2023 to USD 2.48 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.90% during the forecast period (2024-2031). 

The corium layer of cattle hide is the primary source of collagen casing, which is then standardized, ring thrust, and hardened under high pressure to produce durable collagen casing. Fresh sausages, cooked sausages, dry-cured sausages, meat-based snacks, and other products all make use of it. When making any kind of sausage, collagen casings are used. In the past, only animal intestines could be purchased for use in the production of casings.

However, a significant increase in the use of collagen casings has been observed over the past 30 years, as these aid foodservice providers in cost reduction and production automation.

They are compatible with current requirements for traceability and food hygiene, and technical specifications can also be established in advance. Collagen, which comes from the corium layer of animal hide, including cattle hide, is used to make collagen casings.

A mechanically strong collagen casing is produced by standardizing collagen-rich tissue under high pressure, ring-thrusting it, and finally hardening it.

Over the past few years, collagen casings have undergone numerous advancements, some as a result of technological advancements and others as a result of improved manufacturing unit systems.

The provision of modern, one-of-a-kind, safe, and secure collagen casings that work more efficiently on sausage production lines at much higher speeds and produce superior sausage products that are widely accepted by customers worldwide has been made possible by ongoing investments made over many years by key manufacturers.

US Collagen Casings Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
