India`s cellulose acetate fiber import shipments in 2024 saw a significant shift in supplier concentration, with Nepal, Indonesia, and China emerging as top exporters. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) reflecting market concentration rose from high to very high levels. Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.79% from 2020 to 2024, the abrupt negative growth rate of -32.1% from 2023 to 2024 raises concerns. This dynamic landscape underscores the need for businesses to closely monitor market trends and adapt their strategies accordingly to navigate the evolving import environment.

The India cellulose acetate fiber market is a niche segment of the country`s synthetic fibers industry. Cellulose acetate fibers are made from wood pulp and are used in the production of textiles, films, and plastic products. The market is driven by factors such as the demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable fibers in the fashion and textiles industry. Cellulose acetate fibers offer softness, comfort, and excellent dyeing capabilities, making them suitable for diverse applications. However, the competition from other natural and synthetic fibers may pose challenges for the cellulose acetate fiber market.
The India cellulose acetate fiber market is influenced by several key drivers. Firstly, the demand for cellulose acetate fibers in the textile and apparel industry for producing lightweight and breathable fabrics drives market growth. Cellulose acetate fibers are favored for their silk-like appearance and are used in various applications, including lingerie, blouses, and linings. Secondly, the increasing preference for eco-friendly and sustainable textiles has led to the adoption of cellulose acetate fibers as a biodegradable and renewable alternative to synthetic fibers. Moreover, the versatility of cellulose acetate fibers, which can be blended with other fibers, adds to their popularity in the India textile industry.
The India cellulose acetate fiber market encounters challenges related to environmental concerns and competition from other synthetic fibers. Ensuring sustainable production practices and meeting consumer preferences for eco-friendly fibers are significant challenges for the market.
The India cellulose acetate fiber market experienced fluctuations during the Covid-19 pandemic. With the disruptions in supply chains and reduced demand for luxury and fashion textiles, the market faced challenges during lockdowns. However, the market showed resilience as the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly fibers increased, driving interest in cellulose acetate fiber.
The India cellulose acetate fiber market is served by key players, including Eastman Chemical Company, Celanese Corporation, SK Chemicals, and Sappi Limited. These companies offer cellulose acetate fibers used in textiles, apparel, and home textiles. Their focus on research and development, product diversification, and sustainable practices has positioned them as key players in the cellulose acetate fiber market in India.
