Nanocellulose Market Size and Growth Rate From 2023 To 2032

Nanocellulose is procured from plants that can be described as a lightweight substance that includes nanosized cellulose fibrils. This material has several characteristics of a glue-like substance in normal conditions, which is basically a conductor of electricity and it has transparency in color. The tensile strength of the substance is quite high and is non-toxic in nature.

Nanocellulose is nanostructured cellulose. It can be used to create Nanocellulose fibrils from wood-based materials. Nanocellulose is the elementary building block of natural cellulose. It occurs naturally and the material is isolated from the cellulose of wood, various plants,  bacteria or algae. Nanocellulose can also be separated from natural fiber through the method of acid hydrolysis resulting in hard nanoparticles and highly crystalline.

Nanocellulose is made from various cellulosic waste biomass, such as microorganisms, crops, and organic waste. It includes the properties such as high tensile strength and biocompatibility which appeals to an extensive range of markets, from construction and  medical to aircraft. Nanocellulose is commonly classified as cellulose nanofibers (CNF), cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC), and bacterial Nanocellulose (BNC). These are being generated in various ways. These three major varieties differ in physio-chemical properties from size to size. Production of commercial Nanocellulose is cellulose nanofibers synthesized on a significant scale in Japan.

Nanocellulose Technology is being used in several applications such as biomedical products, catalytic substrates, electronic component templates, electrochemically active polymer, composite, packaging, cosmetics, ultra-capacitor, pharmaceuticals, and batteries. The most crucial application is it is being used as an additive to produce a strong paper. The growing demand for nanocellulose materials is due to their biodegradability and compatibility. Nanocellulose applications related to the fields of biomedical engineering and material science due to their exceptional mechanical properties including optical properties and tailorable surface chemistry are driving the demand for nanocellulose. There are mainly two major types of nanocellulose including cellulose nanofibrils and cellulose nanocrystals. The unique properties such as low density, high tensile strength, and a high degree of thermal stability are spurring the demand for nanocellulose for the end-user industries.

The primary growth of the global nanocellulose technology market is driven by the rapid expansion of the packaging sectors and pharmaceutical sectors. The major competitors in the nanocellulose technology market use research and development as one of their most important strategies for the growth of the industry's potential applications.

Report Highlights:

  • By Product Insights, The micro fibrillated cellulose & nanofibrillated cellulose segment is expected to expand at a robust rate during the forecast period beacuse of their nano size and capacity to create a strongly entangled impermeable network.
