The collagen sausage casings market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The collagen sausage casings market has expanded steadily in recent years. It is projected to increase from $1.54 billion in 2024 to $1.64 billion in 2025, reflecting a CAGR of 6.2%.
This growth can be attributed to stricter food safety regulations, consumer preference for healthier food options, the adoption of these casings in traditional sausage-making regions, and the increasing demand for convenience foods.
The collagen sausage casings market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The collagen sausage casings market is projected to grow strongly, reaching $2.07 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.0%.
This growth is driven by demand from emerging markets, consumer behavior shifts, regulatory developments, rising meat consumption, and environmental awareness. Trends include sustainable sourcing, retail/e-commerce expansion, innovative packaging, digital technologies, and smart manufacturing.
The growing demand for processed foods is expected to fuel the collagen sausage casings market. Processed foods, which are altered to improve their shelf life, flavor, or convenience, are increasingly popular due to their affordability and ease of use.

For example, the American Frozen Food Institute reported a 21.6% increase in sales of frozen processed meat in the US in 2022 compared to 2021, signaling a growing market for processed food products and, by extension, for collagen sausage casings.
