Chitosan Oligosaccharides Market

Report Highlights

Chitosan Oligosaccharides Market Outlook

Chitosan is a polysaccharide that has low solubility, and thus, is hydrolyzed into small fragments to obtain chitosan oligosaccharides. The chitosan oligosaccharides have better solubility due to the presence of some amino acids and a shorter chain length. Chitosan oligosaccharide is less bitter as compared to chitosan polysaccharide and is available in powder and liquid form. Chitosan oligosaccharide has application in many industries such as food, beverage, cosmetics, wastewater treatment, etc. Chitosan oligosaccharide is used as an eco-friendly agricultural material which is used in the formulation of fertilizers, fungicides, etc.

Several Applications of Chitosan Oligosaccharides Boosts its Market

The increase in the agricultural industry is anticipated to have a positive impact on the chitosan oligosaccharides market. According to FAO, more than 60% of the global population depends on agriculture for survival. As the world population increases, the demand for agricultural products is estimated to increase, which further enhances the demand for agricultural fertilizers and other such products. The chitosan oligosaccharide is used in the preparation of fertilizers, seed treatment products, plant activator, etc. Chitosan oligosaccharide has excellent solubility and beneficial antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which increases the innate immunity of the plants. Chitosan oligosaccharide decreases and eliminates the infection against the pathogenic agents and regulates the immunization at the gene level. Thus, the manufacturers in the agricultural industry are anticipated to prefer the use of chitosan oligosaccharides in the preparation of various agricultural products. Thus, the increase in the agriculture industry is estimated to boost the sales of chitosan oligosaccharide.

Approximately 6 million tons of crab, lobster, and shrimp shell’s waste is generated all over the world every year. Such waste can be utilized in the production of chitosan, which can be further hydrolyzed to obtain chitosan oligosaccharide. The abundance of raw material is estimated to serve as a driver for chitosan oligosaccharide market.

The high production cost is expected to serve as a restraint for the chitosan oligosaccharide market. The production of chitosan oligosaccharides is a time-consuming process and requires close monitoring to maintain the quality of the product. The process of hydrolyzes to form chitosan oligosaccharides requires monitoring a difference in process timing can affect its chain length and solubility.
