Global Microfibrillated Cellulose Market Overview

A Cellulose matrix of fibril bundles, which are made up of smaller particles known as microfibrils, makes up wood. Electrospinning, homogenising, ultrasonication, grinding, and cryo-crushing maintain the crystalline form of cellulose microfibrils, allowing for exceptional mechanical qualities. Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) fibre is a highly sought-after material in a variety of end-use sectors due to its unique properties. The breadth of use for MFC fibre is expanding due to efforts by the food, paper, and packaging industries, in particular, to improve barrier characteristics, strength, and degradability. In the long run, niche applications ranging from construction to agriculture bode well for the sector. Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a natural material, obtained of plant-based cellulose fibrils, which is produced generally by co-grinding standard chemical pulp with minerals such as calcium, kaolin and carbonate. It has high viscosity and yield stress and is manufactured by mechanical treatment with or without enzymatic or chemical pre-treatment. The Microfibrillated Cellulose Market accounted for US$ 4365.18 million in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 35395.7 million by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 19.8%

Global Microfibrillated Cellulose Market Dynamics

Rising demand for adoption of this fiber material in industries will drive the growth of the Market

Rising demand for adoption of this fiber material in industries such as paper, packaging, food, paints & coatings, and personal care is driving the growth in the market value. Moreover, the microfibrillated cellulose is 100% biodegradable packaging material that is sourced from a renewable resource and it also reduce the carbon footprint, thereby further inducing demand for the market. The government regulations and high demand for sustainable products are some other significant factors that will also promote the market growth rate. Various beneficial properties such as reduced coalescing solvents, micro cracking, mud crack resistance, enhanced opacity also boost the overall growth for the market. Sustainability initiatives have increased demand for MFC as a result of the threat of climate change and environmental deterioration. The main advantage of employing microfibrillated cellulose is that it can increase the strength and reduce the weight of fibre materials in a sustainable way, resulting in end products with lower material volumes and better performance. For instance, According to a Weidmann research, incorporating 1% MFC into a product can result in up to a 20% boost in product performance. In comparison to glass or carbon fibre, MFC fibres offer for a material with higher strength and rigidity while also being lighter. MFC also has better moisture and oxygen barrier qualities than other materials. MFC is available in nanocomposites, films, and paper coatings. The report also claims that MFC-based films have oxygen transmission rates of 4 to 10 mL/m2day and moisture transfer rates as low as 0.4 g/m2day.However, the heterogeneous nature of microfibrillated cellulose and availability of various cheap alternatives will create hindrances for the market growth rate.
