Biomedical Applications Fueling Demand for Nanocellulose
The global nanocellulose market is on the cusp of a transformative surge, projected to expand from an estimated USD 673.1 million in 2025 to a remarkable USD 3,852 million by 2035 , demonstrating an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.1% . This explosive growth is primarily driven by the accelerating global shift away from petroleum-based materials towards biodegradable, lightweight, and renewable alternatives across critical applications such as packaging, coatings, and composites. Nanocellulose, a bio-based nanomaterial derived from plant fibers, is gaining widespread adoption due to its exceptional properties, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, inherent biodegradability, and superior barrier capabilities. In packaging, it is revolutionizing films and multilayer laminates by enhancing shelf-life while meeting stringent food safety and sustainability requirements. Its application in paper coatings and printing is improving mechanical performance, reduci...
