DUBLIN, May 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "The Global Market for Cellulose Nanofibers to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global nanocellulose market comprises

Micro/nanofibrillar cellulose, cellulose nanofibers (MFC/NFC/CNF).
Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC/CNC) and
Bacterial cellulose (BC)

Cellulose nanofibers represent the vast majority of this market (>90%). Most major paper manufacturers, faced with reduced market demand for paper are seeking to exploit the remarkable properties of cellulose nanofibers.

The market is exploding in Japan with large paper manufacturers such as Nippon Paper and Oji Holdings establishing multi-ton cellulose nanofiber production facilities. Asahi Kasei, Japan's leading chemicals manufacturer recently announced plans for cellulose nanofiber production, with trial production starting next year. Facilities have also been established in Europe (mainly Scandanavia), Canada and the United States.

Products are available for commercial trials and will find wider application in packaging and composites over the next few years. Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd., Tentok Paper Works, Risho Kogyo Co. Ltd., Daio Paper Corp., KRI Inc. have all recently announced new products and production initiatives.
