Application-wise, the TMR report segments the chitosan market into agrochemical, cosmetics, food and beverages, industrial, biomedicine and pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and others such as fuel cells and photographic products. Among these, water treatment continues to be the leading application segment, leveraging the coagulation and flocculation properties as well as low cost of chitosan. Chitosan is capable of absorbing substantially big metal ions. Geographically, Asia Pacific is anticipated to remain the most lucrative region, dominated by leading chitosan producers – China and Japan.
