Global Chitosan Market will Cross USD 8.7 Billion Mark by 2030

Market Highlights

Global chitosan market size is expected to reach USD 8.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 25.9% from 2022 to 2030. Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin, a biopolymer extracted from the shells of crustaceans such as shrimp, crabs, and others. This shell waste is characterized with high amount of chitin that is further processed to produce chitosan, glucosamine, and other derivatives. The shell waste containing chitin is treated with specific alkalis and acids under optimal reaction conditions. After undergoing successive demineralization and deproteinization, chitin is obtained that is further deacetylated to produce chitosan. Apart from crustacean shell waste, chitosan can also be produced from certain fungi. However, low amount of chitin in the cell walls of fungi and the absence of an optimal procedure for extraction of chitin on a commercial scale makes it a less used source for obtaining chitosan.

The factors driving the chitosan market are the ample amount of raw material available and emerging applications from various end use segments. On the other hand R&D activities focused on finding novel applications of chitosan as well as developing the existing technology is also expected to contribute towards the growth of chitosan market during the analysis period. However, the production cost of chitosan and its derivatives are estimated to be quiet high and its product availability are irregular due to seasonal, regional, and chemical modification could hamper the market growth.

The global chitosan market report focuses on chitosan and its major applications including, water treatment, food & beverage, cosmetics, biomedical & pharmaceuticals, bioprinting & agriculture, and others. Furthermore, the report includes market segmentation based on sources of chitosan such as shrimp, crab, krill, and squid.
