The global Refined Cotton market size is predicted to grow from US$ 834 million in 2025 to US$ 931 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.9% from 2025 to 2031.
Refined cotton (Bleaching Cotton Linters,or Cotton Linter pulp) is a homogenous and loose white floccule without sawdust, bamboo sawdust, sand, greasy dirt, metal and other impurities, and is non-toxic, tasteless and easy to absorb water. The refined cotton is a main material for producing cellulose ethers (for example, CMC, HEC, HPMC, MC), nitrated cellulose (nitro-cotton) and cellulose acetate, and is widely applied in the fields of coating, petroleum exploitation, building materials, textile, food, daily commodities, medicine, papermaking, electronics, aerospace, plastics, and is known as “special industrial monosodium glutamate”.
Refined cotton raw material is cotton linter. Global cotton resource is mainly distributed in China, India, USA, Pakistan and Brazil etc. Due to abundant raw materials, China becomes the largest producer of refined cotton.
Fluctuations in global cotton production due to weather conditions, pests, and diseases can deeply impact refined cotton supply and prices. Refined cotton price is affected by Besides the raw material, the environmental issues have make many refined cotton producers under great pressure, especially in China. Many Chinese producers have to innovate their production technology to cater to the environmental standards. Also, there are many companies exiting the industry due to the low profit.
Globally, USA, China, Uzbekistan are the major exporters of refined cotton. China is not the largest producer of refined cotton, but also the largest consumer.
Downstream demand keeps increasing. The rise in construction activities, particularly in emerging economies, fuels the need for cellulose ethers as additives in cement and mortar for improved workability and water retention. Moreover, nitrocellulose is widely used in the production of paints, varnishes, and inks due to its excellent film-forming properties, driving demand in the coatings industry. Those factors will drive the refined cotton market to grow.
