Report Description

Global nanocrystalline cellulose market is expected to grow at a formidable rate during the forecast period. Nanocrystalline cellulose are obtained from woody biomass and then processed into different forms such as gel form, liquid or solid flakes. Nanocrystalline cellulose offers several advantages over other counterparts, which include large surface area, high strength, stiffness, chemical reactivity, biodegradability, non-toxicity, reduced weight, etc. Nanocrystalline cellulose can change the characteristics of a material by altering its permeability, flexibility, optical properties and strength.

High aspect ratio, high level of water uphold & intake, better fiber bond forces, high degree of reinforcement and biodegradability are some extraordinary properties possessed by nanocrystalline cellulose. Such properties of nanocrystalline cellulose are pushing its demand across various industries such as paper processing, manufacturing, food & beverage, paint & coatings, personal care, medical & pharmaceuticals and others. Moreover, factors like rapid technological development in nanomaterials and material science, implementation of strict environmental regulation and application in different industries are further fueling demand for nanocrystalline cellulose globally.

Global nanocrystalline cellulose market is segmented based on type, source, grade, form, application, region and company. Based on application, the market can be categorized into composites manufacturing, paper processing, food & beverage, paints & coatings, medical & pharmaceuticals, personal care and others. Paper processing segment is the largest end-user segment of nanocrystalline cellulose in global nanocrystalline cellulose market. Additionally, paper & pulp sector is also preferring nanocrystalline cellulose for manufacturing toughened paper owing to its exceptional properties such as high fiber bond strength, higher filler content and better optical properties. These factors are expected to drive the growth of paper processing industries in the forecast period.

Regionally, the nanocrystalline cellulose market is gaining traction and expanding to various regions including North America, Asia-Pacific, South America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Among these regions, North America and Europe are anticipated to dominate global nanocrystalline cellulose market. The major factors responsible for the growth of North America market include large industrial base and rising oil & gas production in the region. The factors driving the market in Europe include increasing demand from paper & pulp industries and plastic end-use industries. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to become the major market shareholder by the end of forecast period.
