Global Nitrocellulose Market Dynamics:

Rising Demand from the Automotive and Paints & Coatings Industry

The nitrocellulose market is experiencing a rampant growth on the global front, majorly because of rising demand in the automotive and paints & coatings applications. Nitrocellulose which is a fast-drying paint with good adhesion and a glossy finish is largely utilized in the making of automotive paints, wood finishes as well as industrial finishes.

As the world automobile manufacturing industry continues to grow especially in the newly developing markets such as India, China, and Brazil, the demand of durable and aesthetic coatings is also increasing. Also, the requirement of wood coatings because of infrastructure development and furniture requirements is increasing the demand of nitrocellulose-based products further.

The compatibility of the material with different solvents and resins also makes it more flexible in terms of its application and this is aiding in its rising usage. Due to increasing environmental regulations, particularly in North America and Europe, eco-friendly, low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) versions of nitrocellulose are becoming more popular. With manufactures investing in new coating technologies and sustainable solutions, nitrocellulose will always be part of high-performance coating formulations.
