Stringent regulations, certfications and high cost associated with obtaining licenses for production of chitosan has discouraged many small scale manufactueres in the U.S. The manufacturing for chitosan in the U.S. currently seems to be confined to R&D purpose only, with many of these players moving to countries such as Canada, where regulations are more conducive. 

Furthermore, elimination of stringent regulations that restricted establishment of new manufacturing units by the Government of Mexico has resulted in the development of new pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities of large scale companies including Takeda, Daiichi Ranbaxy and Astellas.
