The Chitosan Market size was estimated at USD 1.75 billion in 2023, USD 1.96 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.80% to reach USD 4.07 billion by 2030.

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.

Regional Insights

The Americas have a well-established chitosan market, driven by the demand from sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverages, and water treatment. Countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have a strong presence in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, which drives the demand for chitosan-based products in EMEA. Additionally, countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea are leading producers and consumers of chitosan, which provides a ready supply of chitosan raw materials, benefiting the market growth in Asia-Pacific. Increasing adoption of sustainable agricultural practices in the region presents opportunities for chitosan in crop protection and biostimulant applications. Regional regulations, industrial development, consumer preferences, and availability of raw materials influence the growth and adoption of chitosan in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and EMEA.
