Nanofibrillar Cellulose Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Composites & Packaging, Pulp & Paper, Rheology Modifier, Coatings & adhesives, 3D Films, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Nanofibrillar cellulose is also called cellulose nanofiber, micro fibrillated cellulose, or cellulose nanofibril. Method such as high-pressure homogenization, grinding, ball milling, twin-screw extrusion, cryo crushing, blending, hydrolysis, and oxidation are used in the preparation of nanofibrillar cellulose. It appears as a white color liquid and has no odor. It is bio-based in nature and produced from wood, cotton, or grasses. Furthermore, the product offers unique rheological behavior, mechanical, lightweight, and barrier properties. Nanofibrillar cellulose finds its application in the composites & packaging, pulp & paper, and rheology modifier.

The increasing demand for bio-based cellulose over petroleum-based cellulose will drive the market growth. The rising pollution has led various manufacturers to produce bio-based products. This decision will not only provide a sustainable bio-based solution but also help manufacturers to meet government regulations. In addition, the product offers cost-effective and biodegradable properties. Thereby replacing fossil-based materials in several applications including barrier films, packaging, coatings & adhesives, and specialty papers. Hence, increasing product demand will fuel the nanofibrillar cellulose market growth.

However, the high production cost impacts the overall prices of nanofibrillar cellulose. This restricts its adoption in various applications and is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
