Shrimp by-products, particularly chitin and chitosan derived from shrimp shells, have various biomedical and biotechnological applications. Chitosan is used in tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery systems, and as a biomaterial in medical implants and devices. Consequently, the industrial segment would acquire nearly, 11% of the total market share by 2031. Also, Russian industries would consume 22.74 hundred tonnes of this seafood by 2031. Chitosan derived from shrimp shells is used in agriculture as a biopesticide, fungicide, and plant growth enhancer. Chitosan-based products can help protect plants from pests and diseases, improve soil fertility, and promote plant growth and development.
Shrimp is a low-fat source of protein, making it an attractive option for health-conscious consumers. A 3-ounce serving of shrimp provides about 20 grams of protein with only 1 gram of fat. As consumers become more health-conscious and concerned about maintaining a healthy weight, they seek lean protein sources like shrimp to include in their diets. Moreover, shrimp is naturally low in calories and carbohydrates, making it suitable for consumers following low-calorie or low-carbohydrate diets. Therefore, the market is expanding significantly due to the growth of the health consciousness. Additionally, the shrimp products are available in various flavors and marinades, offering consumers convenient and ready-to-cook options. Breaded and battered shrimp products provide a crispy coating, enhancing texture and flavor. Individual quick frozen (IQF) shrimp are individually frozen, allowing consumers to portion out the desired amount and minimize food waste. Thus, because of the product innovation and differentiation, the market is anticipated to increase significantly.
However, Fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, such as shrimp, can significantly impact production costs for the shrimp producers. This includes costs related to shrimp farming, processing, and transportation. When raw material costs rise, the shrimp producers may face pressure to increase prices to maintain profit margins. Consumers may be sensitive to price changes, especially during economic uncertainty. Higher prices for the shrimp can lead to reduced consumer demand and a shift to alternative protein sources. Thus, fluctuating raw material costs can slow down the growth of the market.
