Figure 1. Global Cotton (linter) Pulp Market Share (%), By Region, 2023
Cotton pulping is the process of breaking down cotton fibers into acellulose-rich slurry that can be used to make paper. It is also used for other applications, such as textiles and cigarette filters. The pulp is made by finely chopping cotton linters or rags by mixing them with water under high pressure and controlled temperatures. Then, it is treated with chemicals and other materials to remove impurities and ensure its strength. Finally, it is screened and degritted to make sure it meets strict quality standards before being sold to the paper industry. Cotton linter pulp is extracted from the short fuzzy fibers left behind on cottonseeds after the ginning process. It finds wide usage in industries such as paper, textile, explosives, and pharmaceuticals owing to its high absorbency and strength characteristics. The global cotton linter pulp market is expected to grow steadily due to the rising demand from various end-use industries along with favorable government policies supporting cotton cultivation.
Market Dynamics:
The demand for the global cotton linter pulp market is primarily driven by the increasing textile industry. The global textile industry is exhibiting an accelerated growth due to the increasing disposable income of consumers and growing urbanization, which has resulted in the increase in the number of fashion outlets and supermarket for textile. Moreover, the increasing textile industry is focusing on the improvement in colorfastness, texture and fabric strength of cloths to enhance their brand value. This in turn is boosting the demand for bleached linter cellulose.
On the other hand, the process is energy extensive and requires high investment which is expected to pose challenge for the market growth.
