Chitosan Powder Market OutlookChitosan powder is obtained by treating the shells of crabs and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance such as sodium hydroxide. The shell waste contains a high amount of chitin which is further processed to manufacture glucosamine, chitosan, and other by-products. It is a deacetylated form of chitin. Chitosan powder is a biopolymer and has many beneficial properties such as biorenewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and bioadhesivity, and thus, has applications in personal care and cosmetic industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and various other industries. Chitosan powder is obtained from various sources such as crabs, lobster, shrimp, etc.The Biodegradable Property Increases the Demand for Chitosan PowderThe occurrence of obesity and the overweight problem is increasing at a high rate across various regions of the world. According to WHO, in 2016, 13% of the adults were obese, and 39% of the adults were overweight. Therefore, consumers are trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prefer the use of dietary supplements to fulfill the nutritional requirement of the body. The increase in weight management problems is expected to serve as a driver for the chitosan powder market. Chitosan powder is a dietary fiber and is used as a weight loss dietary supplement. Some studies have shown that chitosan helps to reduce fat absorption, and thus, can reduce the overall calorie content which helps in weight management. Therefore, the increase in obesity and overweight problems are anticipated to increase the chitosan powder market.Chitosan powder helps in promoting blood coagulation and further enables wound healing. It also helps to improve immunity, maintains blood sugar level, guards against hypertension, etc. Some scientific studies have shown that chitosan has biological properties, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-tumor activities. These benefits of chitosan powder are anticipated to increase its demand in the pharmaceutical industry.The water conditioning and wastewater treatment are major future issues. The wastewater treatment requires high use of chemicals, and the excess use of chemicals will further cause the pollution of the environment. Thus, there is a need for a biodegradable chemical that can effectively treat the water with any negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the use of chitosan powder serves as a suitable option as it is available in large quantity and is a biodegradable product.Every year more than 6 million tons of lobster, crab and shrimp shell’s waste is produced all across the world which is dumped in sea and landfill. This waste can be used to produce chitin, which can be further deacetylated to produce chitosan powder which has applications wastewater treatment, textile, and various other industries. The availability of abundant crustacean shell waste serves as an opportunity for the manufacturers to produce cost-effective chitosan powder.Request to Sample Copy of Report @ https://www.futuremarketinsights.com/reports/sample/rep-gb-9202Chitosan Powder Market SegmentationThe Chitosan Powder market can be segmented on the basis of source, grade, end use, and distribution channel:On the basis of source, the Chitosan Powder market can be segmented as:ShrimpCrabKrillSquidOthers (Lobster, Turtle, etc.)On the basis of grade, the Chitosan Powder market can be segmented as:Pharmaceutical GradeFood GradeAgricultural GradeIndustrial GradeOn the basis of end use, the Chitosan Powder market can be segmented as:Food and Beverage IndustryPersonal Care and Cosmetic IndustryPharmaceutical IndustryDietary Supplement IndustryTextile IndustryOthers (Wastewater treatment, Animal Feed, etc.)On the basis of the distribution channel, the chitosan powder market is segmented into-Direct Sales/B2BIndirect Sales/B2CHypermarkets/ SupermarketsConvenience StoresSpecialty StoresOnline RetailingChitosan Powder Market: Regional AnalysisThe Asia Pacific region has problems related to wastewater treatment.
