Report Description

The global microfibrillated cellulose fiber market size was valued at USD 260.45 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 833.69 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 13.8% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. Rising demand for environment-friendly products is projected to drive the market during the forecast period.

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) fiber has an important role in bolstering paper-based products. MFC is a renewable commodity and has various applications including paper, paints & coatings, packaging, personal care & cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. It is an alternative to plastic and thickening agents in coating and paint products. Wood is made from the chemical substance that is cellulose, lignin, ash-forming minerals, hemicellulose, and extractive chemicals.

Cellulose matrix of fibril bundles is formed of small elements known as microfibrils. MFC is a highly sought-after material in multiple manufacturing industries. Cellulose microfibrils have crystalline nature and are maintained through a method of homogenizing, ultrasonication, grinding, electrospinning, cryo-crushing, and grinding.

The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the manufacturing industry. The supply of raw materials required for some product manufacturing was hindered, due to the lockdown during the pandemic. Disrupted supply chains create challenges in the market economy to great extent. The pandemic has triggered trade disruptions and recession across several industries.

Microfibrillated Cellulose Fiber Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Research and development activities for eco-friendly and sustainable production are anticipated to boost the market. Bio-based products are manufactured with the same properties as conventional products. If compared to bio-based alternatives, conventional crude oil-based products release volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Existing Restraints

High cost of production is expected to hamper the market in the coming years. High prices of raw materials and high energy requirements for production surged the overall cost of production of microfibrillated cellulose. Two steps are involved in the production of microfibrillated cellulose including nanofibrilation and pretreatment. Equipment used in the process nanofibrilation consumes excessive energy thus, various pretreatment processes are used to reduce energy consumption.

Emerging Opportunities

Rising demand for bio-based products is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market players. Bio-based product manufacturing required raw materials that are available in abundance. Moreover, its properties such as high surface area, renewability, tensile strength, and improved barrier property are projected to propel the market.

Microfibrillated Cellulose Fiber Market Segment Insights

On the basis of the end-use industry, the microfibrillated cellulose fiber market is segmented into personal care & cosmetics, paper, packaging, pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, and others. The paper segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Microfibrillated cellulose fiber is used to manufacture paperboard and paper. The pharmaceutical segment is anticipated to account for a major share of the market during the forecast period. Cellulose derivatives are added for the thickening of pharmaceutical solutions.

Based on manufacturing process, the market is divided into chemical, biological, and mechanical. The mechanical segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market in the coming years. New mechanical manufacturing processes, material treatment, and sources are employed for operations on an industrial scale. For instance, WEIDMANN Fiber Technology offers expertise associated with MFC uses and properties. Furthermore, the company produces MFC for engineered applications.

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global microfibrillated cellulose fiber market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), about 32 million tons of corrugated boxes were recycled, which was about 34 million tons of overall recycling volumes in 2018. The recycling rate for corrugated boxes was 96.5% in that year.

The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to the rising awareness about global warming in the region. The Government of China promotes sustainable packaging materials in its logistics industry, as it helps to reduce waste in the country. In January 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) ban the usage of plastic products that include single-use plastics, non-degradable plastic bags, and packaging plastics.
