Produced in the state-of-the-art Rousselot facilities in France, Peptan Marine can help manufacturers deliver high-quality, safe, sustainable and fully traceable marine collagen solutions that integrate with today’s conscientious consumers’ purchasing preferences.

The launch comes as a rising number of consumers are looking for fish collagen beauty and dietary supplement products, with 84% of people showing a clear preference for fish collagen and 51% willing to pay a premium price for these solutions.

While the aquaculture fish collagen segment remains strong, sustainably sourced marine solutions are also gaining in popularity. New product launches with collagen sourced from wild-caught ocean fish have, for example, risen by 70% between 2018 and 2019.

This evolving demand for marine collagen is driven by its ‘premium’ appeal, as well as the rapidly growing trend for more sustainable lifestyles.

People with specific dietary requirements, like pescatarians or those that don’t eat certain types of meat for religious reasons, are also accelerating growth in this space.
