According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Military Nitrocellulose market size was valued at US$ 204 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 347 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.8% during review period.
Nitrocellulose, also known as nitrocellulose, cellulose nitrate, and cotton-based collodion, has two main application categories: civilian and military. In the military field, it is used in explosives, gas generators, and propellants. In recent years, demand for nitrocellulose has been strong, with exports and prices continuously increasing. Military nitrocellulose typically refers to propellant-grade nitrocellulose (also known as energetic nitrocellulose or propellant-grade nitrocellulose) used in military energetic material systems. It is a high-energy-density polymer material mainly composed of cellulose nitrate esters, serving as a key energy and structural component in single- or multi-base propellants and related energetic formulations.
In 2025, global military nitrocellulose production was approximately 30,900 tons, with an average price of US$6,428.57 per ton and a gross profit margin of 31.24%. The average production capacity of a single enterprise was 30,000 tons per year. Upstream raw materials include cotton linters, refined cotton, alcohol, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and packaging materials. In 2025, nitrocellulose prices were in a super cycle of "explosive demand + supply contraction."
Recent Production News: On the evening of January 16, 2026, Beihua Shares (002246) announced a planned investment of 296 million yuan to build a new 10,000-ton/year nitrocellulose production line in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, with a construction period of 24 months.
Downstream Applications: In the coatings industry, demand for oil-based coatings, represented by nitrocellulose lacquer, remained relatively stable. In the ink industry, the high-end color printing market maintained growth in recent years, with the main demand being for high-quality products that are low-nitrogen, low-viscosity, high-quality, and have good flowability. There are currently 431 fireworks and firecracker production enterprises in Liuyang. In 2024, the fireworks industry achieved a total output value of 50.22 billion yuan, accounting for about 60% of the domestic market share and about 70% of the national exports. There is huge market potential for nitrocellulose to replace black powder in fireworks.
