Cellulose acetate butyrate is used as lacquer to provide an excellent finish to wood-based products. These lacquers are classified under the acrylic lacquer category. Acrylic lacquers are extensively preferred over nitrocellulose lacquer and catalyzed lacquer. Research analysis on the global cellulose acetate butyrate market identifies that the increased demand for cellulose acetate butyrate from the wood and furniture industry will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The wood industry highly prefers cellulose acetate butyrate as topcoats and basecoats because it exhibits an excellent resistance to UV rays. It protects the surface from cratering, prevents the yellowing of the substance, and provides a clear-coat. It is also used in white paints, antique whitewash, and normal whitewash as a proper coating material. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this global market will post a revenue of more than USD 830 million by 2021.
The growing demand for cellulose acetate butyrate in the printing ink application is identified as one of the key trends in the global cellulose acetate butyrate market. Cellulose acetate butyrate is increasingly preferred in the printing ink industry due to its resistance to UV radiations, improvement in the impact strength, and lower moisture absorption rate. The labeling and the mandatory policy introduced by various agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce the weight of packaging materials will further propel the market’s growth.
The cellulose acetate butyrate market is moderately concentrated and characterized by the presence of few global and regional vendors. These vendors are experiencing growth opportunities due to the rising demand for cellulose acetate butyrate in end-user applications such as paints and coatings, printing inks, and lacquers. The established players are competing against their competitors based on technological advancement and increase in the research and developmental activities.
