Opportunity: Innovation on novel nanocellulose applications being carried out across the globe
Nanocellulose has immense growth potential in various applications such as food packaging, composites, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. However, the application of nanocellulose in most of the mentioned applications is still limited as several factors such as properties and material costs need to be considered during the manufacturing of a product with nanocellulose materials.
High strength-to-weight ratio imparted by MFC & NFC results in the type holding the largest market share
Based on type, the nanocellulose market has been segmented into three types, namely, MFC & NFC, CNC/NCC, and others. MFC & NFC is projected to lead the global nanocellulose market during the forecast period (2021-2026). The demand for MFC & NFC is the highest as they provide various advantages such as material efficiency, strength enhancement, lightweight and renewable barrier characteristic materials. In addition, fibrous content of MFC & NFC increases the strength of green electronics produced, which may result in inflated demand for product from the electronics industry as they move from traditional non-renewable materials for circuit manufacturing to sustainable materials.
Stringent environmental regulatory framework driving the demand for nanocellulose in Europe
Europe is the largest market for nanocellulose. The competitive and diversified industrial sector is supporting the growth of the nanocellulose market in Europe. The increasing consumption of nanocellulose is also influenced by the excellent business environment and a strict regulatory framework of the region. The regulation on usage of single-use packaging products have shifted the demand towards sustainable materials for manufacturing packaging products, thus resulting in the pulp & paper and composites applications being the significant shareholders in the region.
