Chitosan refers to a naturally occurring deacetylated chitin extracted from the hard outer-skeleton or shells of shrimps, crabs and lobsters, along with mushrooms and yeasts. It is primarily used in pharmaceutical drugs as an essential component for treating several medical conditions, such as anemia, kidney failure, hyperphosphatemia, etc. Owing to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, chitosan is also utilized as a natural antimicrobial agent in cosmetics, agricultural products, food items, beverages, etc.
The expanding pharmaceutical industry has led to the increasing utilization of chitosan to produce hemodialysis membranes, biomedical and tissue regeneration devices, and implant coatings for drug delivery systems. Furthermore, the rising adoption of chitosan in water and wastewater treatment plants for eliminating impurities, such as heavy minerals, toxic substances, phosphorous, etc., is also propelling the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of numerous government policies to improve the quality of surface, ground and drinking water, coupled with extensive R&D activities to develop chitosan from non-aquatic sources, are expected to further bolster the market growth in the coming years.
