By source, bovine collagen is expected to dominate the collagen market share as it helps in reducing pain from conditions such as osteoarthritis

Bovine collagen is utilised by the cosmetic sector as it facilitates the maintenance of skin texture by promoting elastin and other compounds. Besides, type I and type III of bovine collagen specifically support the tendons and ligaments. Bovine pericardium is mostly collagen and is both strong and elastic. As a result, it is used in medical applications like bio-prosthetic heart valves, dural closure, surgical buttressing, and bone as well as dental membranes.

Porcine collagen has gained the status of a powerful ingredient offering outstanding health benefits. It is safe, versatile, and matches the highest health and safety standards. Porcine collagen is obtained from the bones and skin of pigs and is high in collagen types I and III, which are particularly beneficial for the skin.

Poultry collagen is widely utilised in the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, including arthritis, back and neck pain, and surgical pain. It helps in the maintenance of a healthy mucosal layer in the gut for people with digestive imbalances.

Marine collagen is a Type 1 collagen deduced from fish collagen peptides as it contains the highest, most bioavailable source of collagen. The rising trend of sustainability is expected to guide the growth of marine collagen as it is considered a more sustainable alternative.
