Production of Cellulose (Cellulosic) Fibers

Production of Cellulose (Cellulosic) Fibers. Growing Industry to Start a Business in Textiles Sector.

Cellulose or cellulosic fibers are fibers structured from cellulose, a starch-like carbohydrate. They are created by dissolving natural materials such as cellulose or wood pulp, which are then regenerated by extrusion and precipitation.

Cellulose fibers can be used to create a wide range of fabrics, from a heavy denim or corduroy to a light muslin or organza. Examples of cellulose fibers include hemp, linen, cotton, ramie, and sisal.

Cellulosic fibres occupy an important position among raw materials for the textile industry. They are used in apparel, household fabrics and various non-woven fabrics. Textile fabrics, such as non-woven, knitted fabrics, may be made of cellulose alone or in combination with other synthetic fibres. Cellulosic fibre-based textile products include feminine hygiene products, absorbent products, household wipes, babies’ wipes and diapers, pillowcases, surgical dressings and shoe linings. This chapter first reviews the nature and characteristics of cellulosic fibres. It next discusses cellulose solvents and preparation of solutions, then describes the methods of modification of cellulose pulp in order to increase its reactivity.

Cellulose fiber is also known as manufactured fibers that are either made from the cellulose of wood pulp or from the stalks of plants. These fibers are versatile in nature and possess unique properties such as moisture absorbency, hydrophobicity, and so on. Cellulose fibers are broadly classified into two categories, namely, natural cellulose fibers and man-made cellulose fibers. Natural cellulose fibers includes cotton, jute, and so on, whereas, man-made cellulose fibers includes viscose, lyocell, modal, and so on.

Market Outlook

Asia-Pacific is the biggest market, in terms of value, in the global cellulose fiber market. Increasing population and improving standard of living is driving the demand of textile in this region. Natural and man-made cellulose fibers are widely used for manufacturing of textile. Apparel and home textile are the major applications that are expected to driving the growth of market in the Asia-Pacific region in coming years.

The increasing gap between the demand and production of natural cellulose fibers across various end-use industries is the major factor for the growth of the market. In addition, the rise in textile & apparel industries in developing and emerging economies is also anticipated to fuel the global market growth.

Increasing demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable fibers, especially in textile and hygiene industry is driving the cellulose fibers market. The production of synthetic or man-made fibers includes the industrial processing of wood pulp derived from botanical sources. However, the manufacturing of cellulose fibers entails mechanical and chemical processing of wood pulp. Viscose, triacetate, and acetate are the most common variants of rayon, which are man-made cellulose fibers used extensively across end-use industries.

Global Cellulose Fiber Market: Segmentation

The global cellulose fiber market is divided based on applications such as industrial, textile, hygiene, and others. Based on product type the global market is classified as synthetic, and natural. Furthermore, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa give the geographical segmentation.

The global cellulose fiber market was valued at USD 21.5 billion in 2017 and is projected to register a CAGR of over 9% to reach USD 41.5 billion by 2025. The global cellulose fiber market is primarily driven by the significant demand from the textile industry. Cellulose fiber offers properties such as skin-friendliness, biodegradability, and environmental-friendly, which fuels the demand for cellulose fiber. The rising population, along with the constantly changing fashion trends and rising disposable income, is driving the demand for cellulose fiber. The use of cellulose fiber for manufacturing technical textiles such as upholstery, curtains, rugs, carpets, and table linens are another major driver of the market. The rise in demand for technical textiles can be attributed to favorable government policies and initiatives boosting infrastructure spending, chemical manufacturing, and others.

Market Research: - Market Research Report

The significant demand for home furnishing due to the rising disposable income of the consumers has resulted in an increased home renovation activity, which is driving the demand for cellulose fiber. Other applications of cellulose fiber include its use in fiber reinforcement composite, chemical filter, bio-composites, and polymer composites. The rising awareness among the consumers for skin-friendly apparel is likely to offer lucrative opportunities to the cellulose fiber manufacturers. However, fluctuations in the raw material prices, as well as the requirement of skilled people and advanced machinery in the production of cellulose fiber, are some of the factors restraining the global market. The wood or other natural-based cellulose fibers have excellent properties for instance moisture management & absorbency. Moreover, its production process provides purity and uniform quality. All these properties make it useful in a wide range of end-use industries. Its major applications are in the textile and hygiene industry owing to similar properties as engineered type.

Projects: - Project Reports & Profiles

The industry is highly capital intensive and is characterized by high investment in expertise and funds. The high investment in research & development activities for developing new technology or product is the major barrier for the industry. In addition, frequent change in raw material prices, declining cotton production, and stringent environmental regulation regarding forestry by government across the globe, also act as the major challenge for the industry.
