Global Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract market size is predicted to grow from US$ 97 million in 2025 to US$ 157 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, the global production of Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract was approximately 1600 tons, with an average selling price of about US$62 per kilogram. The production capacity in 2025 was 1920 tons, with an average gross profit margin of approximately 25-35%.Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract is derived from the traditional Chinese medicine donkey hide (a solid gelatin made by boiling and concentrating donkey hide). It undergoes modern extraction, separation, and purification processes to enrich its specific active ingredients (such as small molecule peptides, amino acids, and glycosaminoglycans) into powder, extract, or liquid forms. It retains donkey hide's core benefits of nourishing blood and yin, moisturizing, and stopping bleeding, but is generally more convenient for quantitative addition, quality control, and application innovation in pharmaceuticals, health supplements, and functional foods.
The upstream industry for Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract primarily involves the donkey hide farming and procurement industry, which involves large-scale donkey breeding, slaughtering, and primary processing of raw hides. Representative companies include Dong-E-E-Jiao and Fu-Pai-E-Jiao. Downstream, it is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, health supplements, and beauty and skincare, including in the production of compound donkey hide gelatin syrups, donkey hide oral liquids, donkey hide gelatin cakes, and high-end skincare products. Representative companies include Beijing Tong Ren Tang and Japan's POLA.
The market for Donkey-Hide Gelatin Extract is a core segment in the traditional donkey hide gelatin industry's upgrade to modern biotechnology. Its core driver is the increasing demand for convenience and precision from consumers, pushing the transformation of donkey hide gelatin from its traditional solid block form (requiring melting) to readily consumable, easily absorbed small-molecule peptide powders, oral liquids, and functional food additives. The market exhibits high concentration and significant profit margin differentiation. Leading companies, relying on complete control of the entire supply chain (donkey hide resources), patented enzymatic purification technologies, and strong brands (such as Dong'e Ejiao), dominate the high-end market. Meanwhile, numerous small and medium-sized manufacturers remain at the low-value-added protein powder level, trapped in homogeneous price competition. Future growth will heavily depend on penetration into new consumer scenarios, such as beauty and anti-aging beverages, sports nutrition products, and high-end skincare products. However, its development continues to face challenges from the scarcity of donkey hide resources and competition from other protein peptide raw materials.
