Global Nitrocellulose Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Nitrocellulose market size was valued at US$ 814 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 865 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 0.9% during review period.
Nitrocellulose is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent. When used as a propellant or low-order explosive, it was originally known as guncotton. If the cellulose is not fully nitrated then it has found uses as a plastic film and in inks and wood coatings.
Industrial nitrocellulose is known to be one of the oldest film formers unequalled in properties like toughness, durability, fast solvent release capacity and solubility. Nitrocellulose is a derivative of cellulose and is manufactured from purified cellulose either in the form of cotton linters or woodpulp. The manufacturing process involves nitration of purified cellulose with nitric acid and sulphuric acid under controlled conditions followed by stabilization and washing.
Nitrocellulose represents a milestone in the development of the paint industry worldwide, as it is responsible for the popularization of automotive and industrial lacquers, thus favoring an easily obtainable finish, quick drying and high performance. Its quick drying characteristics were a major factor leading to mass production in the car industry. Despite new resin systems being constantly developed, nitrocellulose still keeps its prominent place in the rotogravure and flexography printing inks, nail polish, wood sealant and finish, car refinish and leather finish segments, with new applications cropping up all the time. A large number of patents was granted in connection with the application of new products based on nitrocellulose.
The major players in global Nitrocellulose market include Sichuan Nitrocell Corporation, Nobel NC, Nitro Química, etc. The top 3 players occupy about 42% shares of the global market. China and Europe are main production value markets, they occupy about 64% of the global market. M-grade Nitrocellulose is the main type, with a share about 60%. Coatings and Paints is the main application, which holds a share about 49%.
