Nanocrystalline Cellulose Market

Nanocrystalline Cellulose Market Overview

Nanocrystaline Cellulose Market size is forecast to reach US$8.56 billion by 2027 and is growing at a CAGR of 12.05% during 2022-2027. A Nanocrystalline (NC) material is a polycrystalline material with a crystallite size of only a few nanometers. Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) production is mainly achieved through chemical treatments using sulfuric acid that swells cellulose amorphous regions keeping the crystalline part. Micro fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) products on the other hand, are produced with no acid hydrolysis step, making it possible to retain both the crystalline and cellulose amorphous regions and conserving the molecular mass of cellulose. The process of isolating Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NFC) from bamboo fiber consists of a series of chemical treatments and high-intensity ultrasonication. After ultrasonication, the colloidal suspension of nano fibbrilled Cellulose(NFC) are collected. Owing to lots of perfect properties of strength, light transmission, gas barrier, the applications of the nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) are focused on the Packaging, optical film, electronics, composite materials, and other fields. Hence the Nanocrystalline Cellulose Market is estimated to grow in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nanocrystaline Cellulose Market was highly impacted. Most of the manufacturing plants were shut down, which declined the production of Nanocrystalline Cellulose. Also, due to supply chain disruptions such as raw material delays or non-arrival, disrupted financial flows, and rising absenteeism among production line staff, OEMs have been forced to function at zero or partial capacity, resulting in lower demand and consumption for Nanocrystalline Cellulose in 2020. However, manufacturers have gradually started to operate with minimum workforce and necessary covid-19 norms and the Nanocrystalline Cellulose market is slowly recovering with small economic disruption owing to its vast application in various end use Industries.

Powder segment held the largest share of 53% in the Nanocrystaline Cellulose Marketin 2020. Spray drying is the most cost-efficient technology to produce bulk quantities of Powder cellulose nanocrystals from acid hydrolyzed CNC suspensions. Spray drying results in the aggregation of CNC particles in granular material which is difficult to redisperse in water to individual particles. Higher light transmission properties, improved dispersion stability, and narrower particle size distribution powder CNC suspensions are achieved with the incorporation of nonionic surfactant at 5 and 10 mM prior to spray drying. Therefore, the addition of a nonionic surfactant is an attractive approach to control granular particle morphology and aqueous redispersion of CNC granular powder.

Biomedical segment held the largest share of 30% in the Nanocrystaline Cellulose Market in 2020. Nanocrystalline cellulose is a renewable nanomaterial that has gained a lot of attention for its use as a biomedical material due to its exceptional physical and biological properties, such as surface chemistry, low toxicity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility.
