According to new market analysis, the global Dissolving Wood Pulp (DWP) market was valued at US$ 6,669 million in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 8,123 million by 2030, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.7% during the forecast period (2024-2030). The steady growth is driven by increasing demand for sustainable textile fibers and expanding applications across multiple industries.

What is Dissolving Wood Pulp (DWP)?
Dissolving wood pulp is a high-purity cellulose product derived from wood through chemical processing. Unlike traditional wood pulp used for paper, DWP undergoes additional purification to remove lignin and hemicellulose, resulting in fibers with 90+% cellulose content. This specialized pulp serves as the raw material for:

Viscose rayon and lyocell textiles
Cellulose acetate for films and filters
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) for food and pharmaceuticals
Other cellulose derivatives
The market is dominated by industry leaders including Sappi
