Cellulose Acetate Market: By Product Type, By Application, By End-user, and Geography
Cellulose Acetate Market was valued at US$ 5,629.6 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024-2030. The cellulose acetate market refers to the commercial activity that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of cellulose acetate, a thermoplastic polymer derived from cellulose, a natural compound found in plant cell walls. It is produced through the acetylation of cellulose, resulting in a material with unique properties including biodegradability, transparency, and the ability to be molded into different forms, which has led to its extensive use in various end-use sectors.
Sustainability and environmental concerns is the primary factor that drives the cellulose acetate market. With increasing awareness of environmental issues and the harmful effects of conventional plastics, there is a growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Cellulose acetate, being derived from renewable sources such as wood pulp, offers a biodegradable and compostable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. This aligns with consumer and industry preferences for reducing plastic waste and carbon footprint.
Moreover, the packaging industry is a significant consumer of cellulose acetate due to its transparency, moisture resistance, and biodegradability. As brands and consumers alike seek more sustainable packaging solutions, cellulose acetate has gained traction as an attractive option for various packaging applications, including food, cosmetics, and consumer goods.
However, limited mechanical and chemical strengths, such as moderate U.V. stability, high moisture absorption, and moderate chemical resistance can limit its use in applications in various industries. Meanwhile, exploring new geographic markets where environmental concerns and sustainability are gaining traction can open up growth opportunities for cellulose acetate amrket. Key manufactures are continuously involved in research and development activities to deliver innovative solution that can fulfil the rising demand from the end-use industries. For instance, in October 2020, Celanese launched BlueRidge cellulosic pellets as home compostable alternative to single-use plastics.
In May 2021, Eastman increased its capacity to produce Naia filament yarn at its Barcelona, S.L., site by 30% by mid-2021 and more than 50% by the end of 2022.

The growth of the textile and apparel industry significantly drives the cellulose acetate market due to the unique properties of cellulose acetate fibers that cater to the demands of this industry. Moreover, the textile and apparel industry's preference for sustainable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing materials has led to the increased use of cellulose acetate fibers. As consumers continue to prioritize eco-friendly fashion, the demand for cellulose acetate in textiles is expected to remain strong, driving the growth of the cellulose acetate market. Moreover, the biocompatibility, good film forming ability, and hypoallergenic nature of cellulose acetate have led to its use in healthcare applications such as wound dressings, surgical masks, and medical textiles. Additionally, cellulose acetate finds application in forming a semi-permeable coating on tablets, particularly in the context of osmotic pump-type tablets and microparticles designed to facilitate the controlled release of drugs.
