Plant sources such as soft wood and hard wood pulps, cotton linters, and bamboo pulps are major raw material for cellulose powder manufacturers. Cellulose powder gives different texture to food items, and differ from liquid to glue form. Cellulose powder is easily soluble in water and other liquid solvents, which makes it easy for applications in various industries. Powdered cellulose is increasingly used as a thickener, stabilizer, coating agent, and emulsifier in food, construction and welding applications, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, paper and textiles industry, and several other industries.

Macroeconomic Factors

Regulatory compliance

Provisions presently exist in food and drug regulations for the use of cellulose powder as a texturizing agent in a variety of foods. For instance, Health Canada received a proposal to permit the use of cellulose powder as a texturizing and bodying agent in breath freshening strips.

Environment

Cellulose is a natural component produced from plants and is present abundantly in the environment. Microbial degradation of cellulose occurs in the environment. As a result, the use of cellulose powder as a feed additive is considered as safe for the environment.

Cellulose Powder Market Market Dynamics

Driver- Increasing production and usage of cellulose paper globally

The major driving factor for the growth of the market is increasing production and usage of cellulose paper globally. Cellulose powder is produced from numerous fibrous plants. The naturally available fibrous plants and agricultural by-products containing cellulose support the overall expansion of the cellulose powder market. Plant sources such as hard wood and soft wood pulps, cotton linters, and bamboo pulps are major raw material for cellulose powder manufacturers. Most modern paper is made from trees.

Paper is made from any form of cellulose that can be broken down into fibers. In the paper making process, cellulose is boiled, beaten, and shredded into tiny fibers. The paper pulp is then spread into sheets, pressed, and dried to make paper. To make strong paper, long fibers are needed, hence the pulp has to be beaten instead of chopped. Increasing production and usage of cellulose paper is driving the market.

Driver- Various strategies of market players

Another major driving factor for the growth of the market is various strategies of market players. Various strategies of market players such as expansion of manufacturing and storage capacity, and technology upgradation fuel the cellulose powder market. Manufacturers are focusing on developing various strategies, including increasing production capacity by establishing production units and improving product quality. They are also focusing on developing an efficient supply chain as well as distribution channel.

For instance, J. Retentate & Shone GmbH + Co KG set up its production and business plant in China in 2017 to improve services for existing customers and expand its market reach. In 2017, Nippon paper industries started the production of cellulose nano fiber at the Gouts mill. Its annual production capacity was more than 30 tons. This plant expansion enabled the company to supply cellulose nanofibers to food and cosmetics industries.

Restraint- Lack of awareness of cellulose powder

Lack of awareness of cellulose powder, which is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. Many consumers are unaware about the presence of cellulose in plant food. They are not aware that cellulose fiber is removed from plants to be used as an additive in many foods and are sold as supplements.

Cellulose is an insoluble, indigestible fiber found in vegetables, fruits, and in other plants. Cellulose can be added to shredded cheese. It is also found in some ice creams, frozen yogurt, and diet foods. Consuming cellulose-based foods, additives, and supplements is safe for people; however, consuming a large amount of cellulose-based food may lead to side effects.

Opportunity- Growing demand for natural skin care and personal care products

Consumers across the globe are becoming aware about ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care products. Consumers prefer the use of natural ingredients in personal care products and cosmetics, due to increasing skin irritation from chemicals. Cellulose powder is used in cosmetic products as a moisturizing agent, stabilizer, thickener, protective agent, texturing agent and binder. Therefore, cellulose powder is gaining popularity in the cosmetics industry.

Thus, manufacturers across the globe are focusing on developing high-quality products derived from different natural sources. For instance, The Lubrizol Corporation collaborated with CP Kelce to commercialize the KELCO-VIS deuton Gum PURLLON cellulose liquid product line in the personal care and home care market.
