The regions covered in the chitosan market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

The increasing requirement for wastewater treatment across the globe is expected to propel the growth of the chitosan market. Wastewater treatment has defined the process of removing impurities from wastewater before it reaches the natural bodies or aquifers such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Chitosan is widely used for wastewater treatment, as it helps in heavy metal or metalloid adsorption, removal of dyes from industrial wastewater, and removal of other organic pollutants such as organic oxidized, oil impurities, and organochloride pesticides.

For instance, in 2021, according to a study conducted by the Utrecht University, a Netherlands-based public research university, and the United Nations University, Japan-based research and study university, the wastewater produced globally each year stands at 359 billion cubic meters, which is approximately 48 percent of that water is released to the environment untreated. Therefore, the growing requirement for wastewater treatment across the globe is driving the growth of the chitosan market.

Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the chitosan market. The key players in chitosan market are developing innovative technologies or products for specific applications such film packaging, skin tissue engineering, pharmaceutical drugs and others.

The chitosan market consists of sales of chitosan products by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that is referred to as sugar, which is obtained from the outer skeleton of crustaceans and in the cell walls of certain fungi. Chitosan can be used as a medicine and for manufacturing certain drugs. It is used for high blood pressure, wound healing, obesity, high cholesterol, and various other purposes. Due to its biodegradable nature, chitosan is also used for the development of antimicrobial films for food packaging.
