The Nanocellulose Investment & Pricing Guide 2019 with 90+ Company Profiles - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "The
Nanocellulose Investment and Pricing Guide 2019" report has
been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Nanocellulose (NC) is a novel biomaterial with multiple industrial uses
for replacing fossil derived raw materials. It is renewable,
eco-friendly, has excellent mechanical properties, good
biocompatibility, and tailorable surface chemistry. The addition of NC
into polymers can enhance mechanical strength and reduce weight compared
to fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP).

The market mainly consists of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) production at
present as alternatives to resins, synthetic thickeners, strengtheners,
and plastics. Cellulose nanofiber products have already hit the market,
mainly in Japan, and are viewed as important advanced materials
solutions in the packaging and composites markets.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are a promising future investment
opportunity. Most companies are focusing on high volume production for
composites, packaging and paper industries. However, many opportunities
exist in electronics, 3D printing, textiles and medicine.

Current production capacity far exceeds the market demand at present,
but this is likely to change as prices drop in the next few years, and
there is less distance to fall than with other nanomaterials as
cellulose nanofibers are broadly cost competitive. Producers have
already begun to produce additives that are competitive with
conventional polymer composites (e.g. carbon fibers).
