Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) fibers are innovative bio-based materials derived from wood pulp or plant fibers through mechanical, enzymatic, or chemical processing. With diameters in the nano- to microscale range, MFC fibers exhibit a unique combination of high surface area, lightweight properties, superior mechanical strength, renewability, and biodegradability. These characteristics grant MFC fibers multifunctional advantages, such as reinforcement, thickening, film-forming, and excellent barrier properties. As a result, they are being increasingly adopted in industries such as paper and packaging, advanced composites, coatings, food additives, and personal care products.
In China, the key microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) players include FiberLean Technologies, Storaenso and Borregaard etc. The top 3 companies hold a share about 82%.
In terms of product, food grade MFC is the largest segment, with a share over 50%. And in terms of application, the largest application is package, with a share about 36%, followed by Paper Industry, etc.
As a renewable, bio-based material derived from wood pulp or plant fibers, MFC, with its high strength, lightweight, excellent barrier properties, and thickening properties, is gradually replacing some petrochemical-based materials and penetrating widely into packaging, coatings, food, personal care, and functional composites. In the packaging industry, MFC, with its biodegradable properties, complies with plastic bans and environmental regulations, making it a key upgrade path for paper-based and sustainable packaging. In the food and daily chemical sectors, MFC, due to its inherent safety and stability, has broad application prospects as a thickener and suspending agent.
