Natural sausage casings are ideal for producing tasty sausages formed from submucosa, a biologically active collagen found in the intestines of hogs, sheep, and other animals. Natural sausage casings are breathable, as contrasted to some artificial casings, which don't even allow smoke or water to reach the meat during cooking.

Modern customers have fine-tuned tastes, and therefore, can recognise the difference for both artificial casings, and natural casings. Artificial casings are generally inedible and should be omitted prior to consumption. Furthermore, the toughness of the collagen will not provide the desired texture and feel as it cannot be perverted and will retain its shape unless heat is applied to the required shape. Natural casings, on the other hand, provide the distinct "snap" that true sausage people are expecting. It has the traditional appearance, texture, and cooking efficiency that one would expect from sausage. It also has an endothermic quality, which helps sausages remain tender and juicy, keep a fresh appearance, and have a better texture. As a result, natural casing stuffed sausages overshadow artificial casing stuffed sausages. These are driving the expansion of the North America market throughout the forecast timeline.

The raised choice for artificial casings by sausage businesses, in addition to casings manufacturers' conversion to artificial casings in effect to operational challenges, are expected to stifle market growth over the aforementioned forecast period.
