Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2019 -- Global Chitosan Market stood at $1,205 million in 2015 and is expected to reach $2,550 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 10.7%. Asia-Pacific held two-thirds share in the global chitosan market in 2015 and is expected to maintain its lead during the forecast period.

Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin which is key element in the exoskeleton of marine animals. Commercially, it is produced from the marine crustacean shell wastes such as squid, shrimp, krill, and crab. Chitosan finds applications in a variety of end use industries such as food, chemical, agriculture, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and others. However, the major end use industries include water treatment, biomedical & pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food & beverage.

The emerging applications of chitosan coupled with abundant raw material availability are expected to drive the global chitosan market. In addition, R&D on the use of chitosan in water treatment, cosmetics, and biomedical & pharmaceuticals sector have also fueled the market.

It is obtained from bio-waste rich in chitin such as cell wall of fungi and exoskeleton of crustaceans. The major sources used for extracting chitosan are shrimp, squid, krill, and crabs. In 2015, shrimp accounted for over four-fifths of the total volume of chitosan generated globally, as shrimp shells contain the maximum percentage of chitin out of all the marine crustaceans. It 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 its extraction on a commercial scale make fungi a less used source.
