The Gelatin and Gelatin Derivatives market in Europe is expected to experience an increase in demand for gelatin from the Pharmaceutical industry, which uses gelatin to manufacture both hard and soft gelatin capsules. However, the use of beef bone gelatin to manufacture soft gelatin capsules is expected to decrease during the forecast period, with alternative sources of gelatin gaining popularity. Also, the use of gelatin as a substitute to blood plasma is expected to contribute to market growth during the forecast period.

According to the report, the Gelatin and Gelatin Derivatives market in Europe has several drivers, among which the increase in the aging population in Europe is the major driver. Rising healthcare costs in Europe have led to consumers taking proactive healthcare measures, which include the intake of gelatin and gelatin derivatives-based products that offer health benefits such as improved joint mobility and bone structure. Leading vendors offer products with such benefits, which is driving the market.

Further, the report states that stringent laws and regulations govern the market and are inhibiting its growth. From sourcing raw materials to the production process, vendors need to follow a large set of norms, which increases the production cost.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
