Indonesia Gelatine Market - 2025-2032

Indonesia Gelatine Market reached US$ 128.15 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 163.40 million by 2032, growing with a CAGR of 3.08% during the forecast period 2025-2032.

The gelatin market in Indonesia is experiencing robust growth, driven by a variety of factors that are expanding both domestic demand and international exports. As the middle class in Indonesia continues to grow, the demand for processed and convenience foods has increased. Products like gummy candies, marshmallows and dairy items have become increasingly popular, fueling the demand for gelatin.

The trend is further supported by the growing awareness of health and wellness among urban consumers, leading to the rising use of gelatin in nutritional supplements such as capsules and tablets. In addition to the food and beverage sector, the gelatin market benefits from its wide application in the cosmetics and personal care industry. Gelatin's collagen content makes it a valuable ingredient in skincare products, with growing disposable incomes and awareness of beauty products driving demand in this sector.

The healthcare industry also plays a pivotal role, as gelatin is essential in the production of pharmaceutical capsules and other medical formulations, driven by advancements in medical technology and a growing elderly population in Indonesia. Furthermore, improved living standards and the increasing shift toward premium and international food products contribute to the growing consumption of gelatin-based goods.

Dynamics

Growing Export Opportunities in Indonesia

As demand for gelatin rises globally, Indonesia is capitalizing on its export opportunities, particularly in neighboring Southeast Asian countries. In 2023, according to World Integrated Trade Solution, Indonesia's gelatin exports totaled US$ 4.53K, with most of this volume directed to East Timor, which imported 7,455 kg valued at US$ 4.02K. Smaller quantities were also exported to markets like the Maldives (36 kg), Singapore (93 kg) and China (2 kg).

The growing export activity is an important factor in the market's expansion, as it opens doors to new revenue streams and strengthens the industry's competitiveness. As Indonesia taps into emerging and established markets across Southeast Asia, it boosts its production capabilities and market reach. The export growth, particularly to East Timor, demonstrates how regional trade ties can enhance Indonesia's position in the global gelatin market.

Limited Supply Of Raw Materials

The limited supply of raw materials, particularly animal hides and bones, which are the primary sources for gelatin production can be a major restraint for the market. Indonesia has a relatively small domestic livestock sector compared to other countries that are major gelatin producers, which can restrict the availability of high-quality raw materials. Additionally, increasing concerns over halal certification and religious sensitivities in Indonesia could affect the demand for gelatin products.

Segment Analysis

The Indonesian gelatine market is segmented based on source, form, function, application and distribution channel.

Strong Demand From The Pharmaceutical And Nutraceutical Industries

In the Indonesian gelatin market, the capsules/tablets segment holds the largest share, driven by the increasing demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. As health-conscious consumers seek dietary supplements and medicines, gelatin's essential role in manufacturing soft and hard capsules continues to grow. This demand is supported by the rising interest in natural and easily digestible supplements, which boosts gelatin's popularity in both local and international markets.

In addition, Indonesia's expanding wellness and healthcare sectors contribute to the thriving capsules/tablets segment. With a large and growing population, many Indonesians are turning to gelatin-based supplements for various health benefits, from joint care to weight management. This trend is expected to maintain a strong position for the capsules/tablets segment in the years to come, providing a stable and profitable growth avenue for gelatin manufacturers in Indonesia.
