challenges faced by the collagen peptide industry is fierce competition from

established ingredients like chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine.

Manufacturers, however, are combating this situation by conducting numerous

studies in order to prove the efficacy of collagen peptides and show the

benefits of combining peptides with other ingredients.

The increasing incidence of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, combined with an

aging population globally, promises a great growth potential for collagen

peptides.

"Collagen peptides have the ability to cure bone- and joint-related ailments

without causing any side effects," said Research Associate Ashwin Raj Ravinder.

"Moreover, the protein is known for its use in cosmetic applications to retain a

youthful appearance. Both characteristics will help manufacturers garner a

greater penetration."

The constantly increasing demand to stay young is accomplished by consuming

collagen peptides within functional foods and beverages, as well as in dietary

supplements. The concept of blending collagen peptides with first generation

ingredients, such as chondroitin, has caused a boom in the market.

None the less, there is a lower awareness amongst consumers to want collagen

peptide enriched products because there is a lack of health claims that support

the benefits of the ingredient. Manufacturers should invest on more research

and development, marketing and conducting human clinical studies to prove

the efficacy of collagen peptides.

"Manufacturers must look at blending collagen peptides with other well-known,

complementary ingredients in the market like chondroitin and glucosamine in

order to gain a significant market share," said Ravinder. "Increasing marketing

activities and creating awareness amongst consumers is always essential."
