Cellulose Acetate Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global cellulose acetate market size reached 2.0 Million Tons in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 2.4 Million Tons by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during 2023-2028.

Cellulose acetate is a chemical product produced by the reaction of cellulose with acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst (sulphuric acid). Cellulose acetate is biodegradable and is used as a replacement of plastics in various industries. The product is primarily used in the production of cigarette filter tow, as it helps in removing tar and nicotine while maintaining favorable taste to the smoker.

Rising number of smokers, particularly in emerging markets such as China and India represents a key factor driving the market. Some of the other major drivers include its rising demand in textiles and apparels, growing usage of cellulose acetate in home furnishing products and its rising application as a biodegradable plastic in various other industries. The industry, however, faces some challenges as well. This includes its declining demand in photographic films and in its major end-application i.e. cigarette filters as a result of the rising awareness on the negative health impacts of smoking.
