Technology dependence: The core production technology still relies on foreign countries (such as Selanis in the United States), and domestic enterprises are gradually strengthening independent research and development.

Environmental protection requirements have increased: With the tightening of environmental policies, production enterprises need to upgrade their processes to reduce pollution (such as acetone emission control).

Application expansion: In addition to the tobacco industry, the application of cellulose diacetate in textile, plastic, liquid crystal display film and other fields is gradually increasing, and the future market potential is great.
