Nanocellulose Market Growth & Trends

The global nanocellulose market size is expected to reach USD 1,517.5 million by 2030 to expand at a CAGR of 20.1% from 2023 to 2030 as per the new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry growth is majorly driven by the growing concerns regarding the environment and the use of non-toxic and biodegradable packaging material. This shifting trend is anticipated to augment demand for bio-based products which will propel the demand the forecast period.

Nanocellulose has enormous potential for expansion in a variety of applications, including food packaging, composites, medicines, personal care, and others. However, the use of nanocellulose-based composites and paper processing has widened owing to its environmentally friendly properties.

Due to their physicochemical properties, cellulose nano fibrils are regarded as one of the greatest futuristic materials for the manufacture of textile products. These nano materials offer great stiffness, high strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, chemical inertness, and the capacity to change their surface chemistry in addition to being renewable and naturally plentiful. Because of these features, manufacturers of textiles and nonwovens are mixing their traditional textiles with these Nano fibrils, propelling the market growth.

Additionally, CNC has the benefits of high strength, low density, high stiffness, biocompatibility, low thermal expansion coefficient, and renewable sources. Due to these benefits, nanocellulose application in composite materials has drawn more attention. Engineering plastics, biodegradable plastics, biomedical materials, water purification materials, and composites for electronic component applications are some of the major applications.

Growing need for sustainability has increased product demand in the manufacture of composites and packaging items. However, the pandemic had a significant impact on the market, particularly in the paper and pulp industries. The utilization declined when the demand for paper cut down owing to the global supply constraints on the product. However, the companies expanded into the production of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and gowns utilizing non-woven derived from pulp, which directly led in increased demand for the nanocellulose.
