Executive Summary
According to the report titled, 'Nanocellulose Materials Market,' the nanocellulose materials market was valued at $0.4 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 20.1% from 2022 to 2031.Nanocellulose is cellulose, which is in the form of nanostructures. Nanocellulose materials are gaining popularity in electronics and energy applications. Instead of concentrating on solar cells or thermoelectric methods, consumers are focusing on an emerging field of artificial photosynthesis based on nanocelluloses. Nanocellulose is in high demand in electronics, photonic structures, and additives for the industrial and medicinal sectors. Nanocellulose materials are being utilized to create next-generation flexible television screens, computer screens, personal data assistance screens, and other advertising display systems. Nanocellulose is utilized as a papermaking ingredient to make lighter and stronger paper and board due to its lower porosity, improved printing quality, and lower transparency.
Further, the thickening and stabilizing qualities of micro fibrillated cellulose (MFC) serve a useful purpose in sunscreen sprays by providing a 'non-dripping' effect while also reducing oiliness, resulting in a non-oily skin look. It is also used as a composite coating agent in nail, hair, brow, and eyelash treatments. The MFC is also useful for hair care products, boosting hair's wet compatibility increase friction and cause frizz, hair breakage and enhance hair tangling.
Nanocellulose materials are also used to design and troubleshoot processes for the production of chemicals, fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, and biologicals. The growing demand for nanocrystalline cellulose in the pulp and paper, packaging, medical, personal care, and cosmetics sectors is expected to fuel the market expansion of nanocellulose.
Nanocellulose is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabilizer, binder, film forming agent, suspension agent, and disintegrant in tablet formulations, ointments, and other tropical medicinal bases. It is widely utilized in pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, capsules, sachets, and others. Bacterial cellulose is utilized as a binder/diluent in the oral tablet and capsule manufacturing processes, including wet granulation and direct compression. It is also lubricant and disintegrant, making it suitable for direct tablet manufacturing.
Nanocellulose is utilized as a biomaterial in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, especially tissue engineering, drug delivery, cartilage replacements, tissue engineering, cardiovascular applications, wound dressings, and medical implants. It has also been used to treat renal failure, as well as in a range of emerging therapeutic uses such as temporary skin substitute, hemostatic agent, post-operative adhesion barrier, and hepatocyte culture material.
According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, the drugs and pharmaceuticals business earned $19.41 billion in 2022, with exports totaling $24.60 billion in FY22 and $24.44 billion in FY21 where nanocellulose materials are demanded as wound healing agent while protecting the wound from infection with microorganisms and further trauma.
According to the British Heart Foundation Centre, around 7.6 million individuals in the UK would be living with heart and circulatory disorders in 2021, where nanocellulose is used to treat cardiovascular diseases. Every year, more than 40,000 individuals under the age of 75 in the UK die from heart and circulation disorders. Thus, increase in demand for pharmaceutical & biomedical is expected to boost the nanocellulose materials market during the forecast period.
Further, growing interest in nanocellulose 3D printing is expected to provide sufficient development prospects for the nanocellulose materials market in the future years. Nanocellulose 3D printing are mainly based on focused-electron-beam induced deposition (FEBID) which is direct-writing method capable of constructing complex 3D nanostructures where a gas precursor is adsorbed on the substrate and then dissociated by focusing the electron beam onto it. Ink-jet printing is a popular process for 3D printing applications and frequently used for the applications of nanocellulose materials in 3D structures. Inkjet printing is a simple process that creates almost no waste materials.
3D-printed nanocellulose provides installation services, consulting solutions, and customer support, as well as assist with copyright, licensing, and patenting issues. Manufacturers of nanocellulose gain traction in 3D printing in the fields of prototype, architectural, and final product design, as well as modelling. Turkish Airlines has 172 aircraft on order as of September 2021, including the A321neo, A350-900, Boeing 737MAX, and Boeing 787-9. 3D printed nanocellulose parts are used in all of these aircraft models. MT Aerospace, an OHB Group subsidiary, intends to qualify 3D nanocellulose printing techniques and large-volume components by creating technical standards for additive manufacturing processes in space flight on behalf of the European Space Agency by June 2021.
