Turkey Gelatin Market Overview, 2028

Gelatin has a long history in Turkey, dating back to the Ottoman era. During this time, gelatin was mainly used for medicinal purposes, particularly in the treatment of joint pain and other ailments. Gelatin was also used in the production of traditional Turkish desserts such as muhallebi, a type of milk pudding. In the early 20th century, the production of gelatin in Turkey began to expand, driven by increased demand for gelatin in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Today, Turkey is one of the leading producers of gelatin in the world, with a thriving gelatin industry that serves both domestic and international markets. Gelatin production in Turkey is primarily based on the processing of animal hides and bones, particularly those of cattle and pigs. These raw materials are sourced from local abattoirs and are processed using a combination of chemical and mechanical methods to extract the collagen, which is then further processed to produce gelatin. The use of gelatin in Turkey is widespread, particularly in the food industry. Gelatin is used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of food products, including confectionery, desserts, yogurt, and meat products. Traditional Turkish desserts such as baklava and Turkish delight also rely on gelatin as a key ingredient. Gelatin is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and photographic film. According to the research report "Turkey gelatin Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the turkey gelatin market is of about 98.7 million as of 2022. The gelatin market in turkey is expanding as a result of the increasing demand for and production of gelatin in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), beverage, and other industries. Furthermore, because turkey is one of the leading country for FMCG, beverages ( alcoholic & nonalcoholic) & cuisine & increase in manufacture of pharmaceuticals will boost gelatin market , in order to provide better healthcare products and treatments as turkey pharma market growth was one of the fastest in Europe before few years. Turkey's pharmaceutical industry is anticipated to expand, and the country's high consumer spending on FMCG, beverages, and cosmetics will enhance demand for gelatin in other industrial settings as well. Turkey spends well on FMCG, beverages, and cosmetics, therefore gelatin consumption is anticipated to rise. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of alternative sources of gelatin in Turkey. As concerns over the environmental impact and ethical implications of animal-derived gelatin have increased, Turkish companies are exploring the use of plant-based and microbial sources of gelatin. These alternative sources have the potential to offer a more sustainable and ethical option for gelatin production in Turkey, and may play an increasingly important role in the future of the Turkish gelatin industry.

In Turkey, both type A and type B gelatin are used, but type A gelatin is more commonly used than type B. Type A gelatin is derived from acid-cured animal collagen, while type B gelatin is derived from alkali-cured animal collagen. Type A gelatin has a higher isoelectric point and a lower viscosity than type B gelatin, which makes it more suitable for certain applications in the food industry. For example, type A gelatin is often used in the production of gummy candies, marshmallows, and confectionery products, as it provides a softer texture and improved flavor release. In contrast, type B gelatin is often used in pharmaceutical applications, as it has a higher viscosity and better gelling properties than type A gelatin. Type B gelatin is also used in the production of capsules and tablets, as it provides better stability and slower release of the active ingredient. Overall, the choice of gelatin type used in Turkey depends on the specific application and desired properties of the end product. While type A gelatin is more commonly used in the food industry due to its softer texture and improved flavor release, type B gelatin is preferred in pharmaceutical applications due to its higher viscosity and gelling properties.

Gelatin is an ingredient in the savoury dishes “paça çorbas" (a soup made from cooked sheep trotters) and "tavuk gösü" (a milk custard with chicken shreddeds).
