Nanocellulose is a term referring to nano-structured cellulose. This may be either cellulose nanofibers (CNF), also called microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC or CNC), or bacterial nanocellulose, which refers to nano-structured cellulose produced by bacteria. Nanocellulose is produced from plant/tree through cellulose extraction or cellulose derived from bacteria via a culture medium. Some parameters of nanocelluloses are as follows: Diameter: 5 nm - 500 nm. Length: 10s nm - 100s µm. Specific surface area: 10s - 100s of m2/g.

Nnanocellulose have many special properties, such as Natural & renewable, Biodegradability, Biocompatibility, High strength & modulus, High surface area, High aspect ratio, Chemical functionality (e.g. for modification), Dimensional stability, Moisture absorption, Thermal stability (~200°C), etc.

The market for microbial and bacterial cellulose is driven by the rising demand for sustainable, biodegradable, and high-performance biomaterials across industries such as food, cosmetics, biomedical, textiles, and packaging.

Produced by bacteria like Komagataeibacter xylinus, bacterial cellulose offers unique properties including high purity, tensile strength, water retention, and biocompatibility, making it a promising alternative to synthetic polymers.

Growing consumer and regulatory pressure to reduce plastic waste is accelerating its adoption in eco-friendly packaging and personal care products, while its use in wound dressings, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems is expanding due to its natural origin and medical safety. Advances in microbial fermentation processes and increased investment in bio-based materials R&D are further driving market growth by improving scalability and cost efficiency.
