Key Highlights
-Gelatin is frequently used in the food and beverage industry to provide products like candies, desserts, and dairy dishes with texture, stability, and gelling qualities. Gelatin demand in this industry has been driven by the expansion of China's middle class, shifting consumer preferences, and rising interest in practical and creative food products.

-Gelatin is made from collagen that has been obtained from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals, including domesticated cattle, chickens, pigs, and fish. Collagen is then partially hydrolyzed to generate a collection of peptides and proteins known as gelatin. China attracts gelatin manufacturers because of the abundance of raw materials available. Slaughterhouses are the main source of raw materials.
-For instance, the total number of poultry slaughtered in China was 16.14 billion heads in 2022. Animal-based gelatin's relatively lower price and its suitability for people with shellfish allergies have helped the segment take the lead in the source category.
