Cellophane Market Size, Share, Demand & Trends Analysis Report 2022-2028

Industry Insights

[210+ Pages Report] According to Facts and Factors, the global cellophane market was worth around 322 (USD million) in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around 480 (USD million) by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 4.92% between 2022 and 2028. The report analyses the cellophane market’s drivers and restraints, as well as the impact they have on the demand throughout the projection period. In addition, the report examines global opportunities in the global cellophane market.

Market Overview

Cellophane is a clear, thin film composed of regenerated cellulose that is mostly used as a packaging material. Cellophane is suitable for food packaging because of its low perviousness to water, air, greases, and bacteria.

Cellophane is made from wood, cotton, jute, or other materials that are dissolved in basic ionic salt and carbon di-sulphide to generate a viscose solution, which is then pushed through a gap into dilute sulfuric-acid and sodium-sulphate to convert it back to cellulose. The film is then sent through a series of procedures to produce a thin transparent sheet, which is referred to as cellophane.

Growth Drivers

One of the most important factors driving the global cellophane market's growth is the growing investment in biodegradable cellophane packaging solutions. Compostable and biodegradable cellulose films are more resistant to a variety of bio-polymers now on the market, making them excellent for use in typical form-fill-seal and flow-wrap equipment for food packaging. The global cellophane market is expected to rise as a result of rising customer awareness and key companies' increased focus on innovation, research, and development. Within the forecast period, the global cellophane market is expected to increase significantly due to rising industrialization, expanding end-use industries, and rising demand for specialists. The market's growth may be hampered by severe government rules and policies for cellophane.

The global trend toward sustainable packaging solutions, research & development, cellophane technological improvements, and manufacturer expansion in a wide range of packing application sectors are expected to provide new avenues for the global cellophane market in the near future.

Report Scope

Regional Landscape

Asia Pacific region accounts for about 52.42% of the global cellophane market followed by Europe with 23.82% and North America with 16.26%. Latin America (3.80%) and the Middle East (3.70%) regions show the least consumption. The global cellophane market is expected to be dominated by the Asia Pacific. There are several food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, tobacco, and other packaging companies in the Asia Pacific region. Furthermore, the Asia Pacific market is supported by a substantial amount of downstream demand. Growing demand and the presence of significant players are also driving market expansion in this region.

Recent Development

• In April 2021, Rengo Co., Ltd. announced that the cellophane it manufactures and sells has received the "OK biodegradable MARINE" certification. The OK biodegradable MARINE certification is an international standard for certifying biodegradability in sea water, which contains fewer microbes than soil. TÜV AUSTRIA certified cellophane by ensuring compliance for being biodegradable to at least 91% in sea water within 6 months or demonstrating a biodegradation degree of 90% or greater with respect to the cellulose, as well as demonstrating the safety of the by-products to living organisms.
