How has the cellulosic polymers market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?
The growing popularity of personal care products is expected to propel the growth of the cellulosic polymer market going forward. Personal care products encompass a broad spectrum of items utilized for hygiene, grooming, and enhancing appearance, including skincare, haircare, oral care, cosmetics, and fragrances. This surge in popularity is fueled by heightened consumer awareness of health and wellness, an emphasis on personal grooming and aesthetics, and the impact of social media trends. Cellulosic polymers are widely used in personal care products as thickeners, stabilizers, and film-forming agents to enhance texture, viscosity, and product performance. For instance, in July 2024, according to a report published by the British Beauty Council, a UK-based organization, in 2023, the personal care sector contributed £27.2 billion ($30.44 billion) to the GDP, marking an 11% rise compared to 2022. This growth is attributed to a 10% increase in household spending on personal care products and services in the UK. Therefore, the growing popularity of personal care products is driving growth in the cellulosic polymer market.

How will evolving trends contribute to the growth of the cellulosic polymers market?
Major companies operating in the cellulosic polymers market are transitioning towards biodegradable alternatives, such as natural fibers and plant-based materials, to gain a competitive edge in the market. Natural fibers and plant-based materials are biodegradable substances derived from plants, animals, or minerals, utilized across various applications to promote sustainability and reduce ecological footprints. For instance, in March 2022, Polyplastics Group, a Japan-based manufacturing company, introduced PLASTRON LFT, an environmentally friendly material composed of specially formulated regenerated cellulose fibers. This lightweight product offers exceptional mechanical strength, helping manufacturers reduce their carbon footprint and achieve sustainability objectives. By integrating natural fibers and plant-based materials, PLASTRON LFT broadens its application potential. Developed using a solvent-based process that significantly reduces CO2 emissions and waste, the material efficiently recycles nearly all solvents used. Compared to long-fiber glass-reinforced polypropylene, PLASTRON LFT is both lighter and stronger, featuring a flexural modulus approximately 3% higher, along with superior impact, tensile, and flexural strength, making it a durable and sustainable alternative for various industries.
