United States (USA) Gelatin Market Overview, 2028

Gelatin has been used in the United States for centuries, with historical records dating back to the early 1700s. The use of gelatin in the U.S. was originally limited to the production of jellies and desserts, but it later expanded to include a wide range of other applications. In the mid-1800s, a number of companies began producing gelatin commercially in the U.S. These early gelatin producers used various sources of collagen, including bones, hides, and hooves, to produce gelatin for use in food products. One of the most prominent early producers of gelatin in the U.S. was the Jell-O Company, which was founded in 1897. Jell-O became a popular dessert in the U.S. and helped to popularize the use of gelatin in a variety of other food products. Today, gelatin is used in a wide range of products in the U.S., including desserts, confectionery products, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. The U.S. remains one of the largest producers and consumers of gelatin in the world, with a significant portion of global gelatin production occurring in the country. According to the research report "United States gelatin Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the current size is of about 708.6 million as of 2022. The gelatin market in the United States can be segmented based on various factors, including source, application, and function. Gelatin can be derived from various sources, such as bovine, porcine, and fish. In the U.S., bovine and porcine sources are the most common. The source of gelatin can impact its properties and suitability for different applications. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards plant-based diets and lifestyles. This has led to an increase in demand for gelatine alternatives that are made from plant-based ingredients such as agar-agar, carrageenan, and pectin. Gelatin is used in a wide range of applications in the U.S., including food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The food segment is the largest and includes sub-segments such as confectionery, dairy, meat, and other food products. In the pharmaceutical segment, gelatin is used for drug delivery systems, such as capsules and tablets. In personal care products, gelatin is used in cosmetics, such as hair and skin care products. Gelatin can serve different functions in various applications. For example, in the food industry, gelatin can be used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, or emulsifier. In the pharmaceutical industry, it can serve as a binder, disintegrant, or coating agent. Gelatin is also segmented based on its quality and purity. The most common grades of gelatin in the U.S. are food grade and pharmaceutical grade. Food grade gelatin is used in food products, while pharmaceutical grade gelatin is used in drug delivery systems. Gelatin can be segmented based on its physical form, such as powder, granules, or sheets. The form of gelatin can impact its ease of use in different applications.

In the United States, gelatin is regulated by various government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The FDA has established regulations for the labeling of gelatin in food products, including requirements for ingredient declarations, nutrition labeling, and allergen labeling. Gelatin is considered a food ingredient and must be listed on the label of food products in which it is used. Gelatin is widely used in halal and kosher food products, and certification agencies in the U.S. have established standards and procedures for the certification of gelatin as halal or kosher. In response to concerns about the transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or "mad cow disease," the USDA has established regulations for the production and use of gelatin derived from bovine sources. The regulations require that the source animals be screened for BSE, and that certain tissues be excluded from the production of gelatin. The FDA has established regulations for the use of gelatin in drug delivery systems, including requirements for the quality, purity, and safety of gelatin used in pharmaceutical products. In recent years, there has been increasing focus on sustainability and animal welfare in the gelatin industry. Some companies in the U.S. have established sustainability programs and are working to reduce their environmental impact and improve animal welfare in the production of gelatin.
