DEXTRAN MARKET OVERVIEW

The global dextran market size was valued at approximately USD 0.22 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.33 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.7% from 2025 to 2033.

Dextran is an “intricate split glucan polysaccharide prepared of numerous glucose particles collected of cables from variable intervals,” which is recycled medically to decrease blood viscosity and to enlarge the capacity. Dextran with changing configurations and wide-ranging molecular loads is created by numerous bacteria. It is established in sauerkraut juice, maple syrup, honey, and refined crystalline sugar. It was initially exposed by Louis Pasteur in wine as a bacterial product, but its use was commercialized after further improvements by Allene Jeanes. It is commercially manufactured in production by fermentation of a sucrose-rich medium. It is used as an anti-platelet to decrease blood viscosity and to treat hypovolemia, which can result from severe burns, shock or hurt, operation, or some other causes of bleeding. The product production depends on features, such as pH, temperature, and nitrogen source.

COVID-19 Impact

Halt on Electronics Industry to Impede Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with dextran experiencing lower-than-anticipated/higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is attributable to the dextran market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 is an unparalleled global public health crisis that has exaggerated almost every business, and the long-term effects are anticipated to influence manufacturing progress during the forecast period. The pandemic is causing disaster across the globe with high broadcast charges and a significant number of wounded. To control this outburst, the managements of many nations forced strict lockdown measures. This directed to the shutting down of engineering units and production abilities. This feature has produced terrific losses to several businesses and sectors globally.
