Chitosan Industry Overview with Demographic Data and Industry Growth Trends 2027
Market Highlights
Global chitosan
market size is expected to reach USD
5.02 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR
of 18.02% from 2016 to 2022. 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
industry 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.
