Cellulose acetate is a synthetic compound from cellulose, a natural polymer in plant cell walls. It is commonly used in various industrial and consumer applications due to its desirable properties, its capacity to be molded into various shapes, and its biodegradability. Cellulose acetate has many uses, particularly in manufacturing products such as plastics, films, and fibers. Increasing consumer preference for eco-friendly materials, stringent environmental regulations pushing industries towards sustainable solutions, and growth in disposable income leading to higher consumption of textiles fueled the market growth.
However, volatility in prices of raw materials, availability of other synthetic and natural fibers, and concerns over the toxic effects of acetic acid hamper the market adoption. Advancements in technology enable new applications and develop innovative applications for cellulose acetate-based composites that cater to specific requirements of various industries, fueling the demand for packaging materials and coated products significantly increasing the growth of the market.
