The global Glucosamine market size was US$ 260 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 341 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Glucosamine is part of the structure of the polysaccharides, chitosan, and chitin. Glucosamine is one of the most abundant monosaccharides. Produced commercially by the hydrolysis of shellfish exoskeletons or, less commonly, by fermentation of a grain such as corn or wheat, glucosamine has many names depending on country.
CELLMARK, Cargill, Koyo Chemical, Wellable Marine Biotech, Zhejiang Aoxing and so on are the major players of glucosamine for the time being.
China is the largest manufacturer of glucosamine currently. Meanwhile, North American and European regions are the major consumers.
The global Glucosamine market is strategically segmented by company, region (country), by Type, and by Application. This report empowers stakeholders to capitalize on emerging opportunities, optimize product strategies, and outperform competitors through data-driven insights on sales, revenue, and forecasts across regions, by Type, and by Application for 2020-2031.
