Cellulose acetate is a non-flammable thermoplastic polymer produced by acetylation of cellulose with acetic acid by using sulfuric acid. Cellulose acetate is available in various forms such as granules of fiber, powder, and granules. It also obtained from wood pulp. Cellulose acetate is widely used in the photography industry as a film base and it also used in the manufacturing of eyeglasses as a frame material. Cigarette filters, textile & apparel, photographic films, tapes & labels, and extrusion & molding are the other application areas in which cellulose acetate is used.

Growing high consumption of cigarette worldwide has led to the increased cellulose acetate demand in the past few years. This trend is expected to continue within the forecast period. The increase in disposable income and changes in the lifestyle of consumers in developing countries such as China, Brazil and India are predicted to boost up the demand for cellulose acetate in cigarettes, textiles and plastics industry. Additionally, utilization of cellulose acetate in eyewear frames and food packaging applications is likely to drive the cellulose acetate market during the forecast period. However, rising health awareness regarding cigarette consumption in developed regions may curb the market growth within the forecast period.

On the basis of product type cellulose acetate market can be segmented as cellulose acetate tow and cellulose acetate filament. Cellulose acetate tow was the largest product segment and accounted for a significant share of the global cellulose acetate market in 2015. Cellulose acetate tow is a key component in the manufacturing of cigarette filters, water purification media and extruded plastics.
