Japan has long been at the forefront of

nanomaterials development, especially in

electronics and biomedicine. W ith forest covering

approximately 70% of its land area, Japan is also

at the forefront of cellulose nanofiber research

and development. Applications in textiles,

sanitary products, packaging, composites and the

automotive industry have been heavily targetted

and efforts are bearing fruit with a number of

products appearing on the market in 2017.

This trend will continue for a number of

years thanks to the combination of significant

government support, clear market needs (strong,

flexible and environmentally friendly materials),

consumer demand for biodegradable and

renewable products, producer innovation and

OEM innovation.
