The wood pulp sponge market has great potential and the industry has yet to be developed.

Wood pulp sponge, also known as wood fiber sponge, is a natural fiber. It uses wood pulp such as coniferous pulp or broadleaf pulp as the main raw material, and undergoes soaking, pressing, yellowing, viscose, mixing, foaming and washing processes. The main component of the resulting sponge material is α-cellulose. Some wood pulp sponge manufacturers will add cotton, bamboo pulp and other raw materials according to product requirements. Among them, adding cotton can enhance the strength of the wood pulp sponge. Wood pulp sponge is a new type of environmentally friendly cleaning material that can replace the original PU sponge, PVA sponge and other cleaning materials containing pollution. It is widely used in the printing and platemaking industry, home furnishing industry, food and catering industry, beauty and bodybuilding industry, and medical industry. , construction industry and many other industries. Specific products include kitchen cleaning cotton, household mop cotton, car cleaning cotton, printing layout cleaning cotton, etc.

China is one of the few countries in the world that can produce wood pulp sponges on a large scale. Major domestic manufacturers such as Jiangsu Hengfu New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Anhui Bozi Cleaning Technology Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Nico Sponge Technology Co., Ltd. have certain production capabilities. Its products not only supply the domestic market, but are also exported to developed countries and regions in Europe and the United States. Currently, the above-mentioned companies are still exploring and developing new processes, new raw materials and new materials. For example, Ningbo Nico Sponge Technology Co., Ltd. is constantly developing technologies and products that can add more bamboo pulp for the purpose of reducing costs.

Wood pulp sponges are mainly used as kitchen and bathroom household cleaning supplies. Its market capacity is small and there are few production companies. The main reasons are: (1) Wood pulp sponges are emerging environmentally friendly materials. Due to industry development and product application time, wood pulp The sponge market awareness is low; (2) The price of ordinary sponge materials is much lower than that of wood pulp sponges, which makes domestic consumers less enthusiastic about buying and using wood pulp sponges; (3) Compared with consumers in European and American countries, domestic consumption The concept is relatively backward; (4) Although the domestic plastic restriction order has been implemented, the enforcement is weaker than that in European and American countries, resulting in greater room for development of alternatives. Generally speaking, the current relatively small wood pulp sponge market in China has limited the development of the industry to a certain extent and is not conducive to the expansion of the industry scale and the increase in investment in technology research and development. According to the released “2022-2026 China Wood Pulp Sponge Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report“, China’s wood pulp sponge industry The pulp sponge industry has nearly 300,000 pieces. (The size of the block is: 1*1*0.4 meters)

Analysts believe that as a country with a large population, China’s consumers have become more and more interested in environmental protection as their consumption levels increase and consumption concepts change. The recognition and acceptance of wood pulp sponge cleaning products with better application characteristics are gradually increasing, especially the rise of the “post-90s” consumer group with stronger ability to accept new things, which has injected vitality into the wood pulp sponge market and promoted China’s The wood pulp sponge industry is developing rapidly. In addition, the application of wood pulp sponges in kitchen and bathroom cleaning products has also attracted people’s attention, such as applications in industry, cosmetics and other fields, which have great development potential and market space.
