Based on type, the Melanin are primarily split into Natural and Synthesis.

Types

Description

Natural

Natural refers to melanin produced by isolation and extraction from living things, such as animals, plants and microorganisms. The largest producers are marine cephalopods, which is expelled out by Sepia as a defense strategy against their adversaries. Plants are another source, in which the vegetable melanin are obtained by a chemically treated process, whereby a vegetable crude material-containing polymers or monomeric units of the flavonoids is processed to extract melanin. Another key source of melanin is microorganisms (bacteria and fungus).

Synthesis

Synthetic refers to the production of melanin through chemical synthesis. In chemical synthesis, polydopamine, which shares some properties with natural melanin due to their similar functional groups such as catechol, amine and imine groups, is synthesized via oxidative polymerization of dopamine.

Global sales of melanin of synthesis type show a clear upward trend from 782.4 Kg in 2018 to 1024.5 Kg in 2023 on a yearly basis. The sales grow to 838.9 Kg in 2019, continue to grow to 883.0 Kg in 2020, and then reach in 2021 to 949.4 Kg and sales of 972.3 Kg in 2022, approaching the 1,000 Kg milestone. It finally surpassed the 1,000 Kg mark in 2023, achieving sales of 1,024.5 Kg. This growth trend reflects the increasing demand for synthetic melanin in the market, which is likely to be driven by advancements in synthesis technology, improved cost-effectiveness, and growing demand in applications such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetic industries.
