Also, a significant rise in the demand for bio-based products allowing a considerable reduction in carbonate footprint is ultimately accelerating the demand for nanocellulose nudging the market towards scope for scaling up the production and advancement in nanocellulose technology.

One of the key challenges thwarting growth in the global nanocellulose market is the high pricing. Despite existing loopholes and gaps threating overall market fortification in the global nanocellulose market, thriving opportunities in the military applications owing to growing complexities have necessitated reliance on advanced materials for diverse defense applications.

Owing to characteristic features of nanocellulose such as high versatility, global nanocellulose market is nearing rampant end-user applications, thus stumbling upon novel growth avenues throughout the forecast span. Additionally, advanced efforts towards environment remediation are furthering exponential opportunities.

Nanocellulose technology refers to complex cellulose structure composed of several nanosized cellulose particles. Nanocellulose forms the fundamental building block of the natural cellulose acetate butyrate material available in the market within the nanometer dimension that is 10-9 meter. The component is naturally occurring complex structure extracted from the cellulose of wide variety of plants, woods/trees and even microorganisms such as algae and bacteria.

Nanocellulose has become an important raw material across various industrial processing and manufacturing applications owing to its capabilities such as desired mechanical properties, appropriate levels of viscosity, forming properties contributing to its appealing features and characteristics encouraging mnaufcaturers to opt for the rather sustainable choice of material.

Biomedical products, electronics and electric components, nanocomposite materials, supercapacitators, electroactive polymer and batteries are among the vast-ranging product manufacturing fields that essentially drive the demand for nanocellulose technology. Nanocellulose technology also provides product designers and manufacturers an environmentally friendly alternative to otherwise conventionally applied binding agents, film binders and adhesives with a relatively stronger bio-hazard profile.

For instance, nanocellulose technology is popularly used in paper products as it enhances the bonding strength between two fiber layers or composites thus acting as a membrane with no permeability in grease-proof papers. Nanocellulose also helps scale up the retention properties of a material whilst enhancing the wet and dry strength of paper and board products.

Global nanocellulose market players are firmly placed alongside the emerging number of young entrants flooding into the market with the sole purpose of disrupting the traditional technological models and systems of extraction and upstream models as well as downstream production processes. The growing threat of the young industry players along with the surging technological advancements with fast-paced market upgradation has led to market consolidation.
