Market Overview:
The global flash cotton market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for flash cotton in coatings and paints, printing inks, and other applications. Flash cotton is used as a binder or thickener in various end-use industries owing to its high absorbency and non-toxic properties. In addition, it helps improve the quality of products by reducing the amount of water required for processing. Based on type, the global flash cotton market has been segmented into military grade and civilian grade. The military grade segment is projected to account for a larger share of the global flash cotton market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its superior quality and performance as compared to civilian grade flash cottons. Based on application, the global Flash Cotton Market has been segmented into coatings & paints; printing inks; adhesives & sealants; composites; others (including medical textiles).
Product Definition:
Flash cotton, also known as squib cotton, is a type of explosive material composed of nitrocellulose and potassium chlorate. It is used in fireworks and other pyrotechnic devices.
Military Grade:
Military-grade is a term used for the quality of cotton that has been processed by mills specifically intended for military applications. The major factor responsible for the growth of this grade in recent years is its increasing adoption in high-end fashion apparel, which previously was dominated by nylon and polyester blends.
The global flash cotton market size was valued at USD 2,37 billion in 2015.
Civilian Grade:
Civilian grade is also known as farm-grown cotton. It is a type of cotton that has been grown in fields normally associated with food crops like wheat, corn, and rice. The normal yield from these fields varies between 4 to 5%. However, the farmers in certain regions are able to coax more than average yields from these lands by using scientific methods such as crop rotation and soil enrichment techniques.
Application Insights:
The coatings and paints application segment led the global market in 2017. The segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand for automotive paint from various end-use industries, such as body shops, custom car builders and repainters. In addition, increasing penetration of social media has enabled consumers to get more information about product usage before purchasing a vehicle from a garage or dealership. This factor is likely to fuel the demand for coatings and paints during the estimated time frame.
Printing ink application was one of the prominent segments in 2017 that accounted for a share of around 30% in terms of revenue on account of high product consumption across several applications including textiles, packaging materials and stationeries among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in terms of revenue with a share of over 45% in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing product demand from end-use industries, such as packaging, printing inks and automotive coatings. China was one of the largest producers and consumers for both military grade as well as civilian grade flash cotton products.
The country accounted for a production share exceeding 35% owing to large-scale investments made by domestic manufacturers including Hebeicos Co., Ltd., Shandong Tianzhan Import & Export Corp., and others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the apparel industry for absorbent and breathable fabrics.
- Growing popularity of athleisure wear, which requires high-performance fabrics.
- Rising disposable income in developing countries, which is driving demand for premium cotton products.
- Technological advancements that are making flash cotton more efficient and durable.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of using flash cotton in various applications
