Implication

Literature review reveals expanding applications and market bottlenecks in marine chitin, chitosan, and collagen value chains, highlighting the need to bridge research and commercialization.

Key Points

Evaluate global publication trends and commercial translation across marine chitin, chitosan, and collagen value chains to support a sustainable circular economy.
Reviewed scientific literature and publication patterns covering marine-derived chitin, chitosan, and collagen valorized from processing by-products and invasive species.
Assessed commercialization barriers across technological, regulatory, intellectual property, and market dimensions.
Chitin and chitosan research remains predominantly focused on basic compound characterization, though demand is growing in food and biomedical sectors.
Marine collagen applications are expanding rapidly across biomedical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutritional industries.
Primary barriers to commercial scalability include insufficient economic and social sustainability data, complex regulatory frameworks, and unaddressed patent rights.
