Thailand import trend for the cellulose esters market experienced a notable decline from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of -53.96%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at -5.66%. This significant decrease could be attributed to shifting demand dynamics, changes in trade policies, or market instability during the period.
By 2027, Thailand's Cellulose Esters market is forecasted to achieve a stable growth rate of 0.09%, with China leading the Asia region, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.

The cellulose esters market in Thailand was valued at US$ 11 million in 2025 and growing at a CAGR of 3.9%. This growth can be attributed to its increased usage as emulsifiers or dispersants across various industries such as paints & coatings, food & beverages industry, agriculture sector etc., where it prevents accumulation of dust particles on surfaces which would otherwise degrade product quality or integrity over time if not removed properly. Also increasing presence of end user industries such as automotive when combined with relatively low cost production helps support global demand for these materials also contributing to this positive trend seen within Thai markets too.
The Thailand cellulose esters market is driven by the versatile applications of cellulose esters in industries such as textiles, coatings, and plastics. Cellulose esters are valued for their film-forming, adhesive, and thermoplastic properties. The textile and apparel sector`s demand for innovative fabrics, coatings, and sizing solutions fuels the market`s growth. Additionally, the use of cellulose esters in the production of personal care products, optical films, and food packaging materials contributes to the expanding market. The growing focus on sustainable materials and environmentally friendly solutions aligns with the use of cellulose esters, further enhancing their significance in the market.
Challenges in the Thailand cellulose esters market include waste reduction and sustainable sourcing. The production of cellulose esters involves the use of cellulose from various sources. Ensuring responsible sourcing of raw materials and finding ways to minimize waste and environmental impact during production and usage are important challenges for the industry.
The Thailand cellulose esters market experienced moderate impacts from the pandemic. Industries using cellulose esters, such as coatings, plastics, and personal care, faced challenges due to supply chain disruptions and shifts in consumer behavior. However, sectors like pharmaceuticals and food maintained demand for certain cellulose esters. The market`s recovery hinged on the resurgence of various industries.
