Numerous microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) fiber producers are investing in niche applications including the paper and pulp industry to sustain revenue streams through the pandemic.

ROCKVILLE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / July 2, 2020 / The global microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) fiber market is projected to expand at an exponential 13% CAGR, during the assessment period 2020 - 2030. The coronavirus outbreak has generated a number of challenges for the microfibrillated cellulose fiber market. Strong demand for paper packaging and hygiene products sustain sales of MFC fiber in the short term during the crisis period.

According to the report released by Fact.MR, the microfibrillated cellulose fiber market is expected to go through fluctuating demand, production and revenue. In addition, breaks in supply chains will also impact market growth. Pricing in capital markets and commodity pricing, will become an obstacle to survival for small and medium scale players.

'Manufacturers are investing in research for potential applications of MFC fibers for the development of products with superior performance. Supply chains will witness substantial difficulties owing to restrictions on transport and raw material. Scaling-up of MFC fibers industry operations will bolster profitability of market players in the months ahead,' says the FACT.MR study.
