Chitosan Oligosaccharides and Glucosamine Market to Reach USD 7.8 Billion by 2035, Driven by Demand for Natural Health Ingredients

The global Chitosan Oligosaccharides and Glucosamine Market is set for significant expansion, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% from 2025 to 2035. By the end of this forecast period, the market is expected to reach a sales value of USD 7.8 billion. This growth is underpinned by rising interest in naturally derived bioactive compounds, particularly among consumers focused on preventative healthcare, joint support, and metabolic wellness.

A surge in demand for natural and functional ingredients in dietary supplements is a primary catalyst for this market's expansion. Consumers-especially aging populations-are increasingly turning to glucosamine and chitosan oligosaccharides for their potential to support joint health, cardiovascular function, and digestive balance. Chitosan oligosaccharides, derived from crustacean shells, are gaining popularity for their promising applications in weight management, cholesterol reduction, and gut health. These bio-compounds are being integrated into nutraceuticals, functional foods, and pharmaceutical formulations, broadening their commercial potential.
