Nitrocellulose Market Size- By Application- Regional Outlook, Competitive Strategies and Segment Forecast to 2032
Global Nitrocellulose Market Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Nitrocellulose Market is estimated to reach USD 1.30 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.13%. Nitrocellulose is a compound created from cellulose, nitric acid, or other heavy nitrate compounds, and is extremely flammable. When used as a low-order explosive or propellant, it is known as guncotton. In addition, if cellulose is not completely nitrated, it can be used for a variety of applications, including plastic films, wooden coatings, and ink printing. Manufacturers are being urged to modify their paint and coating formulations to meet changing regulatory requirements, which is expected to drive the growth of the nitrocellulose market.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Nitrocellulose MarketThe market demand for nitrocellulose from various end-use industries, including automotive paints, printing inks, and wood coatings, was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The nationwide lockdowns and closure of manufacturing units caused a substantial decline in demand. The automotive sector was severely affected by the pandemic, resulting in the disruptive halt of automobile production. This, in turn, further contributed to the decline in the sector, leading to a reduction in demand for nitrocellulose used in automotive paints.
