Report Overview

Expanding usage of cellulose pads in the food and beverage business, healthcare sector, rising demand for eco-friendly products across a variety of sectors, and the trend of employing biodegradable materials in packaging may create opportunities for the growth of India Cellulose Pad Market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029.

India Cellulose Pad Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

India cellulose pad market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.18% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029. Major growth drivers for India cellulose pad market include an increasing demand from the rapidly growing number of poultry and dairy greenhouses across the country. Also, chicken farming is a significant source of income for many people in India. The Indian government's initiatives to expand the number of chicken farms across the nation have led to an increase in the demand for cellulose pads in India.

India Cellulose Pad Market - Overview

Cross-corrugated cellulose pad is treated with an anti-rot, rigidifying, and wetting resin coat. The pad's design allows recirculating water to flow vertically and air to flow horizontally through it. They can hold back flowing water. Because they can store water and provide maximum cooling efficiency, these pads are the most effective cooling media on the market right now. Because cellulose pads are made up of cross-corrugated cellulose paper layers, they have a larger surface area for evaporation and can reduce water carry-over problems.

Growth Drivers

Increasing Demand for Cellulose Pads in Poultry Farming

To keep the birds cool, the modern chicken house has large ventilated tunnels. Evaporative cooling systems for poultry farming are intended to keep poultry houses cool during hot weather. They cool the air with water as it passes through special cellulose pads. The evaporative cooling process works by drawing hot dry air into the poultry house, passing it through the cellulose wet pads, and then releasing the cooled air. A water supply system, which can be a hose, an irrigation system, or a water pump, keeps the cooling pads moist. As the air passes through the pads, the water helps to cool it, and the cooled air is then released into the poultry house. This aids in weight loss.

Rapid adoption of Technology Advancements

Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE), among other government organizations worldwide, has recommended improved airflow and fresh air intakes in the current pandemic crisis. End users are thus focusing more on incorporating evaporative cooling systems, which may improve indoor air quality and provide secure workspaces while using less energy. The pad pressure—a measure of the effort required to pull air through the pad at the desired air velocity—has been increased for a six-inch pad and 225 feet per minute for a four-inch pad. The more you press, the more difficult it is for the fans to push air through the pads. As the pads become more soiled over time, the pressure will most likely rise.

Growing Demand for Environmental Control in Greenhouses

As the world's population has grown, so need to protect the environment from greenhouse gases. As a result, environmentally friendly evaporative coolers are becoming more popular in hot climates. Also, the performance of an evaporative cooler is affected by a variety of components and operational factors. Air coolers, for example, operate on the evaporation principle. It moves air more efficiently to bring in fresh air from outside by forcing it through damp cooling pads that absorb heat from the environment. Air coolers are environmentally friendly because they do not use hazardous cooling gases, such as CFC, HCFC, and other hydrofluorocarbons. As a result, consumers are turning to air coolers, and the use of cellulose pads is increasing due to rising temperatures.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Cellulose Pad Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely disrupted supply chains across the world. A decline in end-use industry demand and a labor shortage led to the suspension of operations. Consequently, it significantly declined the growth of the cellulose pad market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the demand for convenient home appliances, such as air coolers and refrigerating products, increased, supporting the market for cellulose pads. Also, the rapid recovery of several end-use industries, such as automotive, consumer goods, and agriculture will support market growth during the forecast period.
