What is Camphor Sheet?

Camphor sheets are the solid and thin forms of camphor that are produced either from the natural camphor obtained from the wood of Cinnamomum camphora or from synthetic camphor derived from the turpentine oil process. They are the white and brittle forms of camphor and also the strong odor producers due to their volatility and sublimation. Camphor sheets are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and possess the properties of being antimicrobial, insect-repelling, and fragrant. Their uniformity in shape, easy handling, and controlled sublimation rate make them the best choice in the context of religious rituals, home applications, and health-related practices that are rooted in tradition.

Camphor Sheet Industry Outlook 2026:

The camphor sheet market on a global scale is predominantly influenced by the religious and spiritual use of camphor sheets which mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. The quality of camphor supplied in the market is partly due to the heightened awareness about using natural pest control among urban households. In addition, the application of camphor in conventional medicinal practices like Ayurveda and Unani boosts the market's resilience. According to a report prepared by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian Ayurveda product market is estimated to reach a value of USD 16.27 billion (Rs. 1.2 trillion) by the fiscal year 2028. The factors behind this growth include more consumers choosing natural remedies, individuals being more health-conscious, and supportive governments for the traditional medicine systems. India's Ayurveda products market will boost camphor sheet market, as camphor is one of the primary ingredients used in many traditional treatments and wellness practices. Besides, the trend of consumers choosing natural and organic products is encouraging people to use camphor sheets for therapy, religion, and household purposes. Also, stronger retail penetration and growing exports of Ayurvedic products will thus, support the domestic and international markets for camphor sheets through the sustained market growth.

How to Setup a Camphor Sheet Manufacturing Plant?

Setting up a camphor sheet manufacturing plant requires evaluating several key factors, including technological requirements and quality assurance.

Some of the critical considerations include:

• Detailed Process Flow: The manufacturing process is a multi-step operation that involves several unit operations, material handling, and quality checks. Below are the main stages involved in the semiconductor manufacturing process flow:
  • Unit Operations Involved
  • Mass Balance and Raw Material Requirements
  • Quality Assurance Criteria
  • Technical Tests
     
• Site Selection: The location must offer easy access to key raw materials such as camphor powder, binders/hexamine, and additives/fragrance. Proximity to target markets will help minimize distribution costs. The site must have robust infrastructure, including reliable transportation, utilities, and waste management systems. Compliance with local zoning laws and environmental regulations must also be ensured.​
   
• Plant Layout Optimization: The layout should be optimized to enhance workflow efficiency, safety, and minimize material handling. Separate areas for raw material storage, production, quality control, and finished goods storage must be designated. Space for future expansion should be incorporated to accommodate business growth.​
   
• Equipment Selection: High-quality, corrosion-resistant machinery tailored for camphor sheet production must be selected. Essential equipment includes camphor reactor or sublimation unit, melting kettles, sheet molding or compression machines, cooling trays or tunnels, cutting and sizing machines, packaging and sealing machines. All machinery must comply with industry standards for safety, efficiency, and reliability.​
   
• Raw Material Sourcing: Reliable suppliers must be secured for raw materials like camphor powder, binders/hexamine, and additives/fragrance, to ensure consistent production quality. Minimizing transportation costs by selecting nearby suppliers is essential. Sustainability and supply chain risks must be assessed, and long-term contracts should be negotiated to stabilize pricing and ensure a steady supply.
   
• Safety and Environmental Compliance: Safety protocols must be implemented throughout the manufacturing process of camphor sheet. Advanced monitoring systems should be installed to detect leaks or deviations in the process. Effluent treatment systems are necessary to minimize environmental impact and ensure compliance with emission standards.​
   
• Quality Assurance Systems: A comprehensive quality control system should be established throughout production. Analytical instruments must be used to monitor product concentration, purity, and stability. Documentation for traceability and regulatory compliance must be maintained.

Project Economics:

​Establishing and operating a camphor sheet manufacturing plant involves various cost components, including:​

• Capital Investment: The total capital investment depends on plant capacity, technology, and location. This investment covers land acquisition, site preparation, and necessary infrastructure.
   
• Equipment Costs: Equipment costs, such as those for camphor reactor or sublimation unit, melting kettles, sheet molding or compression machines, cooling trays or tunnels, cutting and sizing machines, packaging and sealing machines, represent a significant portion of capital expenditure. The scale of production and automation level will determine the total cost of machinery.​
   
• Raw Material Expenses: Raw materials, including camphor powder, binders/hexamine, and additives/fragrance, are a major part of operating costs. Long-term contracts with reliable suppliers will help mitigate price volatility and ensure a consistent supply of materials.​
   
• Infrastructure and Utilities: Costs associated with land acquisition, construction, and utilities (electricity, water, steam) must be considered in the financial plan.
   
• Operational Costs: Ongoing expenses for labor, maintenance, quality control, and environmental compliance must be accounted for. Optimizing processes and providing staff training can help control these operational costs.​
   
• Financial Planning: A detailed financial analysis, including income projections, expenditures, and break-even points, must be conducted. This analysis aids in securing funding and formulating a clear financial strategy. 

Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx) Analysis:

Capital Investment (CapEx): Machinery costs account for the largest portion of the total capital expenditure. The cost of land and site development, including charges for land registration, boundary development, and other related expenses, forms a substantial part of the overall investment. This allocation ensures a solid foundation for safe and efficient plant operations.

Operating Expenditure (OpEx): In the first year of operations, the operating cost for the camphor sheet manufacturing plant is projected to be significant, covering raw materials, utilities, depreciation, taxes, packing, transportation, and repairs and maintenance. By the fifth year, the total operational cost is expected to increase substantially due to factors such as inflation, market fluctuations, and potential rises in the cost of key materials. Additional factors, including supply chain disruptions, rising consumer demand, and shifts in the global economy, are expected to contribute to this increase.
