DUBLIN, Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "The Global Market for Micro- and Nanocellulose 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report highlights the significance of cellulose, especially in its micro- and nanoscale forms, as a renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly biopolymer.

Cellulose is naturally abundant and serves as the structural basis of plant cells, found in everything from trees to seaweeds, flagellates, and bacteria. As industries and consumers increasingly seek sustainable and eco-friendly materials, cellulose-based materials, particularly Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) and Nanocellulose (NC), have gained significant attention.

Key Information from the Report:

1. Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC):

MFC is derived from cellulose fibrils separated from wood pulp.
It has a large surface area, allowing for the formation of strong hydrogen bonds within materials.
MFC can enhance the properties of various materials when added to their manufacturing processes.

2. Nanocellulose (NC):

NC encompasses various materials with different characteristics based on their source raw material, synthesis methods, and structural features.
Three types of NC are commercially available: cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC).
CNC, CNF, and BNC differ in terms of their physico-chemical properties, such as size and crystallinity.

3. Market Growth:

The global nanocellulose (NC) market has witnessed significant growth, particularly in Japan, North America, and Europe.
Major paper and pulp producers have transitioned toward advanced biorefineries, resulting in production capacity increases.
CNF is the most commercially produced type of NC and is manufactured on a large scale in Japan.

4. Applications:

Micro- and nanocellulose find applications in various industries, including composites, packaging, medicine, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, paints, and coatings.
These materials offer unique properties and benefits, making them attractive for multiple end-use markets.

5. Market Analysis:

The report provides a comparative analysis of micro- and nanocellulose types, covering properties, production methods, pricing, and applications.
Profiles of over 210 companies involved in the micro- and nanocellulose value chain are included, detailing products, production capacities, manufacturing methods, collaborations, and more.
The report offers 10-year demand forecasts in terms of tonnage and market value for micro- and nanocellulose on a global and regional basis.
It evaluates the adoption of these materials in various industries and assesses technological readiness, competitive environments, and R&D priorities.
Insights into intellectual property trends, start-ups, partnerships, opportunities, and challenges in commercialization are also provided.

This report underscores the growing importance of micro- and nanocellulose as sustainable and versatile materials with applications across diverse industries, driven by the demand for eco-friendly alternatives and the depletion of non-renewable resources.
