Cellulose Acetate Market Overview

Cellulose Acetate market size accounted for US$ 4.8 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 7.39 Billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.5%.

Cellulose acetate is an insoluble cellulose derivative known to be a nontoxic, nonirritant and biodegradable material. Cellulose acetate is a biodegradable polymer known for its nonirritant, heat resistant, nontoxic and relatively low hygroscopic nature. Cellulose acetate is obtained by acetylation of cellulose. Cellulose in its native form can be largely digested by microorganisms as it is a familiar natural product Cellulose acetate is biodegradable and used as a plastic substitute in various industries. The product is mainly used in the manufacture of cigarette filters, as it helps remove tar and nicotine while maintaining a smoker-friendly test. Cellulose acetate is an amorphous, colorless, transparent, glossy, and moderately hard thermoplastic with good clarity but only moderate chemical resistance and UV stability. Increasing demand for environment-friendly, biodegradable, cost-effective and versatile cellulose acetate is also expected to drive the market growth.

Cellulose Acetate Market Dynamics

Rising number of smoke

cellulose acetate market are the rise demand in cellulose acetate, growth in emerging economics, and technological advances. The rising demand for natural plastics due to its properties including good stiffness, glossy texture and high transparency has fueled the market growth in recent years. An important factor driving the market is the increasing number of smokers, especially in emerging markets such as China and India. Some of the other major drivers include increasing demand for textiles and apparel, increasing use of cellulose acetate in home furnishing products, and its increasing use as a biodegradable plastic in various other industries. All these factors are contributing to the overall growth of the market rising awareness about the health issues associated with smoking is expected to stand as a major restraint in the growth of the cellulose acetate market.

Technological advancement

Cellulose acetate is primarily used in the manufacture of cigarettes to reduce the toxicity of smoke. Cellulose acetate as a filter material provides excellent filtration properties without altering the flavor of the cigarette. Cellulose acetate is obtained from the acetylation of plant material cellulose. This cellulose acetate spins into textile fibers called acetate rayon, acetate or triacetate. Cellulose acetate in the form of solid plastic parts and this part is used for various purposes such as food wrapping, and handles in others. Technological advancements in the textile industry and increasing demand for specialty cellulose acetate for textiles and apparel are anticipated to the market growth in the forecast period.

In July 2022, Benefits of MAX Phase Additive Material in Cellulose Membrane Explored, Membrane technology is a promising technique for water treatment, MAX phase was used for the first time in a cellulose acetate polymeric membrane as an inorganic additive to improve its (cellulose acetate membrane) performance as a dye absorbent from water. Cellulose acetate membrane is a porous material made from natural cellulose.
