[150 Pages Report] Cellulose NanoFibers Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR 17% during the forecasting period (2022-2029).
Cellulose nanofibers are made from wood-fiber (pulp) that has been extracted to the nano level of several hundredths of a micron and smaller, and it is the world’s most advanced biomass material. Since the material is derived from plant fibers, it created a low environment in its production and its disposal. The properties of cellulose Nanofibers include being lightweight, having high elastic modulus as high as high-strength aramid fiber, similar thermal expansion as glass, and presenting high barrier properties with oxygen and other gases. Due to the presence of characteristic properties and morphology, it is widely used in filter materials, high gas barrier packaging material, medicines, cosmetics, electronic devices, and others.
The Cellulose Nanofibers are manufactured through various mechanical processes it including high-pressure homogenization, micro fluidization, refining, or grinding. Due to the drawbacks associated with the mechanical process such as high energy demand various chemical processes are being adopted by the various producers such as cationization, hydrolysis, TEMPO-mediated oxidization, acetylation, and sialylation.
Market Drivers
An increase in usage of cellulose nanofibers by end-users in filters, food packaging, and healthcare, and research initiatives for the development of new carbon nanofibers by prominent players in different industries for different applications are driving the cellulose nanofibers market during the forecast period. An increase in penetration of cellulose nanofibers into various sectors due to its major advantages such as being lightweight and high strength, and being eco-friendly in nature is additionally contributing to the growth of global cellulose nanofibers market during the forecast period.
According to NIKKEI ASIAN REVIEW in May 2017, electronics maker Panasonic is conducting research for using fiber to make refrigerators and washing machines.
The carbon nanofibers could emerge as a viable alternative for steel in the long term though it can expect significant competition from materials that are made from carbon-based materials. According to researchers, carbon nanofibers are five times as light and can be five times as strong as steel. With the rapid development in electric cars, the key players in the industry are looking at an alternative for steel, due to its added advantages carbon nanofibers can be adopted majorly by the automotive and aircraft industry in the future.
Market Restraints
Major factors hindering the global cellulose nanofibers market during the forecast period due to the high cost compared with conventional materials.
Market Segmentation
Global cellulose nanofibers market is segmented by product type and Application.
