Demand for chitosan is also considerable high in the food and beverage industry as it used as a food stabilizer,
preservative, and a crucial coagulation agent. Its growing usage in dental care products such as toothpaste
and mouthwashes is also anticipated to play a key role in propelling the overall market.
High Production Cost of Raw Materials Hampers Market Growth
The global chitosan market is being restrained due to the high cost of manufacturing chitin derivative from raw
materials. Due to lack of development in the process of manufacturing chitosan, the costs have remained the
same, with a significant increase in them over time. Thus, the demand for chitosan in the end-use industries is
being hampered by their high production costs. The market also faces tough competition from the animal feed
manufacturers, who also source the raw materials.
The review of the global market is based on Transparency Market Research’s report, titled “Chitosan Market Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020.”
