Chitosan has a wide range of applications and a large market potential for development

Chitosan is known as the “sixth element of life”. It has the characteristics of improving immunity, antibacterial, preventing cancer, inhibiting aging, lowering cholesterol, strengthening liver function, etc. It is widely used in food, health products, medical treatment, cosmetics, agriculture, and animal husbandry. There are broad application prospects in other fields. In recent years, with the expansion of application fields, the scale of the chitosan market has continued to expand.

Chitin, also known as chitin and chitin, has a scientific name of (1,4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucan. It is made by removing the acetyl group from chitin through concentrated alkaline water. The resulting water-soluble product. Chitosan appears as a white or light yellow translucent solid with good chemical stability and can be dissolved in sulfuric acid, organic acids and weak acid aqueous solutions.

In the agricultural field, as a plant growth regulator, plant inducer, fungicide, etc., chitosan can regulate plant growth, enhance plant disease defense capabilities, improve crop quality, improve soil environment, etc. In 2021, the National Bureau of Statistics released the “Statistical Classification of Energy Saving, Environmental Protection and Cleaning Industry (2021)” (National Bureau of Statistics Order No. 34). Among them, in the clean production industry, chitosan stands out as an efficient, low-toxic, and low-residue fungicide. List.

According to the China Pesticide Information Network, there are currently 21 chitosan pesticide registrations in my country, and the dosage forms involve dissolvable agents, aqueous agents, microemulsions, wettable powders, etc. The registration certificate holders include Sichuan Lier Crops, Qingdao Zhengdao Pharmaceutical, Kangxin Biotechnology, Shandong Shengpeng Technology, Jiangxi Weilite Biotechnology, etc.

In the medical field, chitosan is non-toxic, harmless, and has good biocompatibility. It can be made into medical surgical sutures, drug carriers, hemodialysis membranes, wound covering materials, hemostatic dressings, biofilms, and wound protection. Patch and other products, related domestic production companies include Hunan Amethyst Huikang Biopharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. and Changsha Bangchuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

According to the “2023-2028 China Chitin Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center , Chitosan is one of the natural polymer substances. In nature, chitosan widely exists on the surface of crustaceans and insects. At present, chitin is mainly extracted from crustacean aquatic products such as shrimp shells and crab shells. my country’s marine aquaculture area and aquatic product output rank among the top in the world. In 2022, the output of shrimp and crab shells will reach about 13 million tons. Overall, my country has a relatively high output of crustacean aquatic products and sufficient supply of raw materials for chitosan production.

Industry analysts said that chitosan has unique physiological activity and health care functions and is widely used in pesticides, medicines, foods, and health care products. It is widely used in other fields. In recent years, with the expansion of application fields and the enhancement of residents’ health awareness, the market demand for chitosan has been continuously released. Chitosan has a wide range of uses and sufficient supply of raw materials. With in-depth research, chitosan-related products will be more abundant, and the market development potential is huge in the future.
