The Cellulose Fiber market segmentation, based on Product type, includes the man-made segment accounted for around 62% of the overall volume share in 2015. These come from plants and their products, which are processed into pulp. Then, they are extruded like other synthetic fibers. Viscose and Rayon are the most common man-made type, which is produced from wood pulp. The synthetic fibers industry is projected to show significant growth owing to its various properties, for instance, strong, thermoplastic, fungi-resistant, abrasion-resistant, low absorbency, inexpensive, and easily available.
Based on Application, the Cellulose Fiber market segmentation includes Textile, Hygiene, and Industrial. Textile was the prominent segment in 2015. The segment alone accounts for around 44% of the revenue share. The major application of fibers in the textile industry is to reinforce composites and filter chemicals. Therefore, fiber produced from wood pulp is becoming an important element in the textile industry.
Cotton is the major raw material for the textile industry. However, declining cotton production owing to the difficulty in its cultivation has resulted in major growth in the demand for wood-based cellulose fibers. These are high-performing and find applications in industrial, home textile, apparel, etc.
