Owing to its high absorption rate and resistance to chemical and heat are expected to make consumers more linear toward purchasing cellulose sponge product. These factors act as a key driver responsible for the growth of cellulose sponge market.
Cellulose sponges are made of natural materials due to which it is more prone to absorbing food particles and germs. Because of their nature of soaking things up, cellulose sponges are tend to trap bacteria due to which it is very important to disinfect and replace sponges regularly, especially those used in the kitchen. In addition, low shelf life period, and complex manufacturing process will make it time consuming and tedious process for cellulose sponge. These factors together are expected to hamper the growth of cellulose sponge in the market.
The cellulose sponge market growth is driven by rise in urbanization, increase in disposable income, and growth in chemical and petrochemical industry has surged the demand for cellulose sponge. The cellulose sponge are gaining popularity in the chemical sector due to tis, bio degradability, non-toxic, and bio renewable properties. Cellulose sponge has great absorption capacity owing to which it is used for cleaning of oil spills, and cleaning of chemical laboratories, and others. These factors are predicted to contribute to the market growth and are anticipated to offer new opportunities in the global cellulose sponge market.

LLC, Spontex, Suvic Products Limited, The Indestructible Bruske Brush, UC Sponge Co., Ltd., Vileda, and WITPFoam.
The Asia-Pacific cellulose sponge market size is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period and accounted for 24% share in the global market. The region is showcasing high potential growth owing to the increase in the medical sector where cellulose sponge has been used predominantly. It is mainly used as a compression bandage and pop-up plasters during blood sampling process. Its absorption ability and compression attributes is escalating the demand for cellulose sponges in the medical sector. The medical industry has accounted for one of the fastest-growing sectors in Japan owing to rise in R&D activities, advancements in technology in medicine, and others.
In 2021, the synthetic cellulose sponge segment was the largest revenue generator, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The demand for synthetic sponges is expected to witness rise owing to their low-cost production and alternative substitute for the expensive natural sponge. Furthermore, the synthetic polyester sponge is a cost-effective, absorbent, strong, durable material that is resistant to harsher cleaning chemicals, oil, and grease it is widely used in household appliances, industrial, and automotive sectors for washing and cleaning purposes, and others. This is anticipated to increase the demand for synthetic cellulose sponges in industrial applications. Moreover, synthetic cellulose sponge is chemical resistant, has high elasticity, is flexible, and can be used for all types of masonry, painting, texturing as well as general cleaning projects. These characteristics also make this type of sponge the obvious choice for all general home, auto, and marine applications. This is expected to act as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of synthetic cellulose sponges during the forecast period.
By end-use industry, the automotive segment dominated the global market in 2021, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. An increase in the transport and logistics activities has led to the growth of the automotive sector where cellulose sponges are widely used for cleaning interior and exterior of vehicles, and cleaning accessories. This is projected to drive the growth of the cellulose sponge market. Cellulose sponges are extensively used in automotive applications. However, the demand for cellulose sponges is increasing as compared to plastic sponges owing to the increasing demand for carbon footprint and rising awareness towards reducing the emissions generated by the cellulose sponges manufacturing industries. Since the cellulose sponges are made of natural materials that are derived from plants, they don’t cause any harm to the environment or emit poisonous gases such as CO2 when burnt or buried. Moreover, rise in middle-class income and the young population has led to an increase in the trend for personal vehicles, which propels the demand for cellulose sponge in the growing automotive sector.
