Animal Glue Market

Global Animal Glue Market: Overview

Animal glue is sticky gelatinous material derived from animal hide and bones. Hydrolysis of collagen from such remnants of an animal makes this sticky material. Animal glue finds usage in restoration and creation of organic art material like paintings, artifacts and the like. Synthetic materials being too harsh on sensitive material is seldom used for fine work.

As global disposable income is increasing and more people are rising above basic necessities, the demand for aesthetics and art is entering the purview of common man. All sorts of art material are being asked for and the animal glue market should suitably benefit from this trend, particularly from 2020 to 2030, states TMR.

Global Animal Glue Market: Key Trends and Drivers

• The global livestock industry is growing in response to rising demand for meat. In 2013, the livestock sector accounted for one-third of global agricultural gross production value. Animal glue is derived from an important waste product of this industry. Hence supply of this product is expected to remain steady in the future. 
• The global art market in 2018 reached a value of USD 67.4 billion, showing a growth of 6% over last year. Animal glue being an important part of art creation and restoration, the animal glue market should grow steadily in the coming years. 

Global Animal Glue Market: Regional Analysis

The Asia Pacific region (APAC) is currently the global leader in the animal glue market. A robust livestock industry that caters to rising demand from the regional population gives raw materials for various industries that depend on waste materials from this sector.

North America and Europe are estimated to register modest growth in this market given the greater regional appreciation for aesthetics and focus on sensitive art restoration in these regions.
