Dissolving pulp containing high cellulose of more than 90 % and largely used in textile products such as high-quality rayon or Tencel textile. The application of this product is not confined to the uses of the textile industry as in recent times cigarette industry, beauty and packaging industry have created opportunities for higher revenue generation.

The textile industry is one of the in-demand fastest growing sectors across the globe. Textile production is progressing towards sustainable development as it is being favoured and embraced by more people in the present times. Dissolving pulp properties and broad application will be a major driving factor in the growth of the market in the forthcoming year.

COVID-19 Impact: Slow Growth of End-User Industries to Hamper the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the dissolving pulp market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The spike in CAGR is attributable to the dissolving pulp market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The textile industry slumped during the pandemic times and suffered a massive loss. The surge in the COVID-19 cases has resulted in global lockdowns affecting the supply and logistics and the availability of raw materials in the market. Production came to a sudden halt due to the shutdowns of manufacturing units and the lack of human resources. Although, the cigarette did not see a massive change in the market, however, due to the raised health consciousness and government regulation it too went through a low phase. The low demands from the end user market have hampered the dissolving pulp market demand. However, as the normalization process is in full swing the market is returning to normal increasing the chances of high growth.

All industries are compelled to adhere to stringent regulations and implement an eco-friendly production unit. Dissolving pulp offers high sustainability and has high cellulose content. It is witnessing a great demand across various sectors due to its natural properties and as a replacement for other raw materials. Thus, all these factors are contributing to the dissolving pulp market growth in the forecasted period.

"Diverse Application of Dissolving Pulp to Boost the Dissolving pulp Market Demand"

The dissolving pulp application is not limited to one sector but in recent times it has seen a spike in demand across various industries. It is extensively used in the production of fabric. Dissolving pulp is considered an alternative to cotton. It is predominantly used to produce rayon yarns for tire cords, and rayon staples for high-quality fabrics.  The textile industry is the major application for the dissolving pulp market. The cigarette industry is another end-user market triggering the growth of dissolvable pulp. The cigarette industry has seen a huge surge in the demand owing to its high consumption. The latest survey has found that more than 22.3% of the global population consumes tobacco.  Dissolvable pulp is used as a filter in a cigarette. Apart from these, it has its uses in the beauty and pharmaceutical industry. The quality of the pulp is modified to meet desired functional requirements of various end-user industries. The increased applications and the growth of the end-user market are triggering the dissolving pulp market share in the upcoming years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Price and Availability of Alternative Products to Hamper the Market Growth"

The dynamic structure of the market accompanied by the recent healthcare havoc and geo-political tension has resulted in the increased price of raw materials. The high price of the products along with a difficult supply logistic structure is creating a problem in many parts of the world. Furthermore, the past decade has witnessed a massive surge in the demand for polymers which is taking over the textile industry. The easy availability of alternative products in the market is another major restraining factor. The paper grade pulp producer is shifting towards the production of dissolving pulp which might result in overcapacity and changes in price structure.
