Dublin, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Marine Collagen Market By Type, Source, Marine Animal, Application, Extraction Process, and Region – Global Forecast to 2031” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The marine collagen market is anticipated to grow significantly, expanding from USD 1.14 billion in 2026 to USD 1.66 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.7%. A key growth driver is the liquid segment, which leads the market due to faster absorption and effortless daily use. Consumer preference for convenient supplement intake forms boosts the liquid segment’s growth, making it the fastest-growing during the forecast period. Liquid collagen, being hydrolyzed and diluted, allows superior absorption, hence, providing quicker visible results. The trend towards on-the-go functional supplements, particularly nutraceuticals, and beauty-from-within products, further accelerates the demand for liquid collagen.
The fish skin, scales, and muscles segment will maintain a substantial share throughout the forecast period. As the main sources of collagen within the seafood industry, fish skin, scales, and muscles hold the largest segment share. These parts, rich in Type I collagen, are predominant in dietary supplements, food, and cosmetic applications. Their status as by-products enhances availability, reducing costs and promoting resource efficiency and sustainability.
The nutritional products application leads in market share during the forecast period. Increasing consumer focus on health supplements for daily health propels the nutritional products segment to a market-leading position. Formats like powders, capsules, and ready-to-drink products of marine collagen offer easy digestion and fast absorption, aligning with needs for skincare, joint support, and bone health. The trend towards preventive care and healthy aging also drives this sector’s growth, cementing the nutraceuticals segment’s substantial market share.

With abundant marine resources, seafood processing capabilities, and low production costs, Asia Pacific emerges as a market leader. Rapidly growing demand for nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods in South Korea, China, Japan, and India, coupled with rising disposable incomes and increased wellness awareness, fuel market growth. Local production and expanding exports further enhance the region’s market dominance.
