What are the critical drivers of the chitosan market?
A significant driver that is projected to propel the growth of the chitosan market is the global increase in requirements for wastewater treatment. Defined as the procedure of removing impurities from wastewater before it reaches natural bodies or aquifers such as oceans, lakes, and rivers, wastewater treatment has become a crucial factor propelling the chitosan market. Chitosan plays a fundamental role in wastewater treatment as it aids in heavy metal or metalloid adsorption, the removal of dyes from industrial wastewater, and other organic pollutants such as organic oxidants, oil impurities, and organochloride pesticides.
An interesting fact is that, in 2021, a study conducted by Utrecht University and the United Nations University revealed that the wastewater produced globally each year stands at a staggering 359 billion cubic meters. Shockingly, about 48 percent of that water is released untreated into the environment. Therefore, the heightened requirement for wastewater treatment worldwide can be considered a significant driver for the chitosan market.
