Chitosan Market Overview

The global chitosan market is expected to grow at 9.5% CAGR from 2020 to 2029. It is expected to reach above USD 1,215.2 million by 2029 from USD 480.5 million in 2020.

Chitosan, a natural fiber derived from Chitin found in the outer shells of shellfish like shrimp, crabs, and lobsters, is increasingly sought after as a dietary supplement for weight loss due to its rich fiber content. Its versatility extends to applications in water treatment facilities, where it effectively absorbs toxic substances, grease, oils, and metals. Moreover, chitosan finds utility in diverse sectors such as food & beverages, agrochemicals, and medical & pharmaceuticals.

Favorable regulatory support from developed economies and growing awareness about its health benefits are expected to drive significant demand for chitosan in the food & beverage industry. The product’s popularity as a food preservative and stabilizer further contributes to market growth. Additionally, its use as a clarifying agent in juices, a thickening agent in beverages, and in packaging food products is projected to fuel demand.

Chitosan Market | Exactitude Consultancy

Abundant availability of raw materials, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, is a key driver for the chitosan market, as it is a prevalent waste product of the fishery industry. Traditionally discarded or used as fertilizers, these materials are now valued sources for chitosan production. Moreover, extensive research conducted on chitosan in recent decades has uncovered its diverse applications in wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, and the food & beverage industry.

Efforts by manufacturers and researchers to enhance purity to meet stringent product standards are anticipated to create new opportunities for both existing and emerging market players. Furthermore, increasing demand for chitosan as an antibacterial, anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal agent in pharmaceutical applications is poised to drive further growth in demand.
