Global Medical Grade Gelatin Market Insights, Forecast to 2028

Gelatin is a soluble protein obtained by the partial hydrolysis of collagen derived from the bones, hides and skins of animals (mainly from cows, pigs and fishes). To extract gelatin, the native collagen is rendered soluble via acid, alkaline or enzymatic treatment and then boiled in water.

For gelatin to be considered pharma-medical grade, it needs to meet certain standards:

Quality Control and Traceability
Testing, control and full traceability are important: careful selection of raw materials and suppliers, swift collection and transport, and strict testing and control of raw materials to ensure optimal quality and safety.

Technical specifications
Gelatin has to meet the specifications described within the pharmacopeia:

gel strength range
pH range
conductivity
loss on drying
zinc content
chromium content
microbiological limits
GMP Compliant
Gelatin needs to be produced in alignment with good manufacturing practices (GMP) suitable for its intended application (e.g. excipient, raw material for medical devices, tissue engineering etc). The process is audited by pharmaceutical companies.

Special Adaptations
Raw materials for medical devices and other specific applications (parenteral, regenerative medicine, cell culture, etc.) may have additional requirements depending on the final application, such as additional virus inactivation studies, free of endotoxins / pyrogens and free of mycoplasma.
