Nanocrystalline Cellulose Market to Undertake Strapping Growth During 2023
Nanocrystalline
cellulose is one of the most emerging renewable nanomaterial which is
expected to make huge impact on various end-user industries.
Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) or cellulose nanocrystal is extracted
from wood biomass and is treated into gel, liquid and solid forms.
Raw materials used in the manufacture of nanocrystalline cellulose
include pulp, bacteria, wood, potato and sugar beet among others.
Acid treatment is the prominent method to used to manufacture
nanocrystalline cellulose. However, acetylation and esterification
are an alternatives method to achieve the production Cellulose
nanocrystal has diameter of approximately 3-5 nm and length of
100-600 nm. Crystallinity in nanocrystalline cellulose is up to or
greater than 90%. Nanocrystalline cellulose possesses unique
properties such as high aspect ratio, controlled release, good water
uptake and up-hold, film formation, strong fiber networks, rheology
modifier and biodegradable among others. Moreover, nanocrystalline
cellulose has unique electrical optical and magnetic properties. NCC
has higher reinforcement potential and has higher tensile strength
than glass, aramid and Kevlar.

Report Overview @
The
market for nanocrystalline cellulose is expected to be mainly driven
by end-user industries such as automotive, drilling fluids, paper
processing and paints & coatings among others. In automotive
industry, nanocrystalline cellulose based composites can be used in
the production of accessories such as cushions, headliners and
headlamps. Paper processing is another major outlet for
nanocrystalline cellulose.
Nanocrystalline
cellulose is expected to enhance the fiber bond strength with higher
reinforcement on paper materials. Moreover, nanocrystalline cellulose
will add higher filler content and better optical properties. In oil
& gas industry, nanocrystalline cellulose can be used as
viscosifier, rheloogy modifier and thickener in drilling muds. In
paints & coatings industry, nanocrystalline cellulose can be used
as functional additives to alter rheological properties as well as
emulsifier. It can be also used as a stabilizer and thickener in
industries such as cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical among others.
Due to higher tensile strength nanocrystalline, cellulose can be used
in the manufacture of strong and lightweight composites, which can be
used in construction, packaging and aerospace industry. In electronic
industry, NCC can be used in electronic displays, panels and security
papers. In spite of so many applications, threat from substitutes
such as microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose ethers coupled with
environmental regulations is likely to hinder the market growth over
the next few years.
North
America and Europe are expected to dominate the demand for
nanocrystalline cellulose over the forecast period. The U.S. is
leading the demand for nanocrystalline cellulose in North America.
However, Canada with its forest reserves can have major impact on the
nanocrystalline cellulose market in North America. Western Europe is
likely to dominate the demand for NCC in Europe owing to demand from
paper processing and plastic industry. Northern Europe is expected to
be the major producer of NCC in Europe with Finland as the major
manufacturing country. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the major
market for nanocrystalline cellulose in upcoming years. China and
Japan are projected to drive the demand and production trends in Asia
Pacific region. However, India and other Oceanic countries are
proposed to show potential opportunities for NCC in near future. Rest
of the World is expected to show stable demand for nanocrystalline
cellulose. South Africa and South American countries such as Brazil
and Argentina are likely to be major producers in RoW region.
