Cellulose Acetate Supply Landscape & Domestic Production Trends
The report points out that with the expansion of the panel industry (LCD, OLED) in mainland China, the demand for cellulose acetate (TAC) continues to grow.
This is an indirect benefit for cellulose acetate sheets used in hair accessories (some high-end hair clips are made from this material): raw materials are more stable and costs are controllable.
Cellulose acetate is becoming increasingly popular in hair accessories (especially high-end/designer hair clips) due to its good texture, soft touch, and strong organic feel. Some specific product examples are as follows:
Parcelona Large Beak Claw (Cellulose Finish): French-style large claw clip with a luxurious cellulose material texture.
Handmade using smooth cellulose acetate, perfect for elegant hairstyles.
Super Bloom Cellulose-
Acetate Hair Clip: Elegantly designed, suitable for more formal or fashionable occasions.
Heart-Shape Eco Acetate Claw Clip: Environmentally conscious, made from acetate material in a heart shape.
Shimmer Cellulose-Acetate
Hair Claw: Lightweight and compact, very convenient for everyday use.
![Xinmei: Carefully designed using high-quality acetate materials, suitable for daily wear. 1]()
Sustainable Materials: Cellulose acetate is a more environmentally friendly material (better than some fully synthetic plastics). With the rising consumer demand for eco-friendly hair accessories, acetate hair clips have the potential to become one of the mainstream materials for high-end hair clips.
Cost and supply stability: The supply of domestic cellulose acetate is expected to improve through localization, which may reduce dependence on imported materials and give hair accessory designers more flexibility in cost control.
Design Trends: Because acetate material is easy to color and polish, designers can create hair clips with various textures (tortoiseshell, translucent, colored), further promoting hair accessories as fashion items (not just functional products).
Technical Improvements: As upstream industries such as acetate filaments and bundles improve their technology (capacity optimization quality enhancement), this may lead to the production of more types and higher-quality acetate sheets / hair accessory materials.
