Chitosan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from the chitin found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. Chitosan is created by treating chitin with an alkaline substance, usually sodium hydroxide, followed by a process of deacetylation, which removes acetyl groups from the chitin molecule. The increasing awareness of chitosan's properties, such as its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial activity, has led to a rise in demand for chitosan in diverse industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, agriculture, and water treatment. With an increasing focus on environmentally friendly alternatives, there is an increasing demand for biodegradable materials, including chitosan. Production of chitosan involves extracting and processing chitin from crustacean shells, which are costly and labor-intensive, subsequently hampering the adoption of chitosan. Expanding research & development activities to develop value-added chitosan products and formulations by modifying their properties or combining them with other materials is expected to contribute to the growth of the chitosan market.
