Chitin and its derivatives are naturally occurring polymers and furnish an ecofriendly solution to a wide variety of applications including biomedical, water treatment, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Chitin is the worlds second largest biopolymer after cellulose and is used in major end-user industries such as food & beverages, agrochemicals, personal care, biomedicine, and others. Chitin shares numerous biochemical similarities with plant cellulose. It is a neutrally charged and long-chained linear polymeric polysaccharide and is widely used in the construction of physical and mechanical barriers to achieve structural stability.
The global chitin fertilizer market witnesses huge potential growth opportunities in the past few years. There is also an increase in demand for chitin owing to its easy production process and easy availability. Excellent characteristic properties such as biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and biodegradability make chitosan ideal for making biomedical products, artificial organs, and implants. In addition, rise in number of lifestyle diseases coupled with increase in adoption of chitin in the major end-user industries such as textile, personal care, and healthcare are anticipated to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Moreover, abundance of raw materials coupled with emerging applications from distinct end-use industries are some other key elements anticipated to fuel the market of the market. Furthermore, increase in investments in R&D activities especially to focus on the discovery of novel applications along with development of the existing technology are also projected to augment the overall demand for chitin in the foreseeable years. However, high production cost coupled with product inconsistency due to regional, seasonal, and chemical alterations hinder the market growth.
