Product Definition:
Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is a thermoplastic ester made from cellulose and butyric acid. CAB has good clarity, heat resistance, and toughness. It is used in food packaging, medical tubing, and other applications where toughness and heat resistance are important.
Automotive:
Automotive is one of the fastest growing application segments in CAB market. Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is widely used in automotive industry for manufacturing body parts such as hoods, deck lid panels, bumpers and other components. Increasing demand for lightweight vehicles coupled with stringent government regulations regarding carbon emissions are expected to drive the global automotive industry over the forecast period. This factor is anticipated to have a positive impact on CAB market growth over the next seven years.
Coatings:
Coatings are additives that enhance the properties of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB). Cellulose acetate is a polymer and it is manufactured by reacting cellulose with acetic acid. CAB is used in paints, varnishes, printing inks, and coatings. The major application of CAB comprises cigarette filters papers which are made from the paper pulp treated with an adhesive comprising of cellulose acetate.
Application Insights:
Automotive was the largest application segment in 2016 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) is used as a component in paints, coatings, adhesives & sealants and plastics. The product has solvent-based properties which make it suitable for use in automotive applications. It functions as a penetration enhancer when mixed with oils or solvents and helps enhance the wetting property of polymers thereby enhancing their bonding capacity.
The demand from lacquers application segment is projected to witness moderate growth over the forecast period on account of increasing utilization of CAB as an emulsion paint base due to its water repellence characteristics coupled with excellent film-forming ability that aids smooth lamination process leading to high quality end products at low cost per unit area which are likely to drive market growth over the next few years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rapid industrialization and increasing per capita income in emerging countries such as China, India, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Moreover, rising demand for cellulose acetate butyrate products from various end-use industries such as automotive & transportation; coatings & adhesives; printing inks is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe which accounted for 24% of global revenue share in 2017 on account of high consumption volume coupled with stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions that has led consumers towards bio-based CABs products over traditional petroleum based ones. The presence of key manufacturers including Evonik Industries AG and Tosoh Corporation who are engaged in offering cellulose acetate butyrate solutions across numerous industries will further boost growth prospects over the coming years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging is expected to drive the CAB market growth.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of CAB over traditional materials is projected to boost the market growth.
- Growing investments in R&D for developing new applications of CAB is likely to propel the market expansion in future years.
- Stringent government regulations for reducing environmental pollution are anticipated to create opportunities for CAB manufacturers in near future.
