ANIMAL PLACENTAL PROTEIN MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Animal Placental Protein Market is expected to be valued at USD 0.032 billion in 2025, increase to around USD 0.033 billion in 2026, and is forecasted to reach nearly USD 0.04 billion by 2034, advancing at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2025 and 2034.

A member of the galectin family, placental protein 13 (PP-13) plays a role in healthy implantation and placental vascular development and is mostly expressed by syncytiotrophoblasts. According to preliminary research, women who go on to develop preeclampsia had significantly lower maternal serum PP-13 concentrations in the first trimester, especially if they are going to present with the condition early on. 86 There is no known explanation for the mechanisms causing this decline. In 10 studies (n=4,468), maternal serum PP-13 measurements taken during the first trimester were examined as a potential predictor of preeclampsia using a variety of anomaly cut-offs. 87–96 For all preeclampsia patients (88–92,95,96) and early-onset preeclampsia (88–96), seven studies reported on the prediction accuracy. 87,89,91–94.

In animals, the placenta serves as a conduit for the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the foetus as well as waste products from the foetus to the mother. The placentas of many animal species are eaten. Some human societies consume placentas. Though it frequently has a cultural significance, this might be for nutrition. Other than for ritual consumption by the mother or family, animal placentas are also utilised as a source of extracts for ingredients in a variety of consumer items such pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, hair care products, health tonics, and food products. Additionally, search and rescue teams train their dogs to find human remains using human placentas.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact: Strain on Supply Chain Due to Lockdown to Impede Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with animal placental protein market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributed to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had immediate effects on demand, regulations, research and development processes, and the move to telemedicine and telecommunication. As long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pharmaceutical sector, it is possible to expect industry growth slowdown, approval delays, moving towards self-sufficiency in pharm-production supply chain, and trend shifts in consumption of health-market products, together with ethical dilemma.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on the pharmaceutical industry as well as the health markets, and identifying these consequences may help policymakers develop better evidence-based plans to address the problems that come along with them.

LATEST TRENDS

Health Benefits of Animal Placenta Protein to Propel Market Growth

A variety of foods include animal placenta protein, many of which are advertised as having health benefits. In many cultures, ceremonial consumption by mothers and families is in addition to this. Even the protein consumed by athletes includes animal placenta. Animal placenta protein is a quick approach to build muscle and offers several health advantages.

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 20% of maternal health supplements in Asia-Pacific now contain animal placenta extracts, showing a wider acceptance of placenta protein in nutrition and healthcare.

• The Japanese Ministry of Health reported that nearly 34% of newly launched cosmetic products in Japan in 2021 included placental protein derivatives, reflecting strong adoption in the beauty industry.

DRIVING FACTORS

Skin Benefits of the Placenta to Boost Market Growth

In contrast to human placenta, the sort of placenta utilised in skin lotions, hair conditioners, and face masks comes from sheep. Sheep placenta has demonstrated advantages in skin care products that use animal placenta protein extracts. Placenta creams are topical serums that nourish, fight inflammation, and protect the skin from damage. Recently, extracts of both human and animal placentas have been used in cosmetics. Although the extracts don't include any cells, they are packed with a variety of proteins, minerals, amino acids, and steroid hormones that help lessen the inflammatory-related skin defects that have grown over time.

• According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), clinical studies demonstrated that 41% of women using placenta-based creams reported improved skin elasticity, driving demand in the cosmetics and cosmeceutical sectors.

• The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) highlighted that 28% of health supplements approved in 2020–2022 contained animal placenta protein, pushing its usage in functional foods and nutraceuticals.

Increased Use of the Protein After Pregnancy to Enhance Market Growth

The placental extract is said to be a source of hormones, namely oestrogen and progesterone, and protein. After giving delivery, it aids in the return of all female hormones to normal. It aids in the treatment of postpartum depression. It can start a rapid weight reduction after delivering delivery. These variables have a significant impact on the animal placental protein market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Presence of Harmful Pathogens to Constrain Market Growth

Brucella is a facultative intracellular pathogen, which makes treatment of disease difficult and there are no human vaccines available. Brucellosis infects humans through consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, contact with infected animals, placentas, or aborted fetuses. Brucella is a common case in treatments that include animal placenta. This pathogen is expected to hamper animal placental protein market growth.

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 15% of reported brucellosis cases in the U.S. were linked to contact with animal placental material, creating health and regulatory barriers.

• The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) noted that nearly 19% of livestock placenta samples in developing countries contained pathogens such as E. coli and brucella, restricting safe product expansion.
