The company formed under the name of Dainippon Celluloid Company from a 1919 merger of eight regional celluloid manufacturers and changed its name to the present one in 1966.^[4] Its first subsidiary, Fuji Photo Film, was set up in 1934 to produce nitrocellulose film.^[5] Eventually this company became Fujifilm.

As of early 2020, Daicel owned a majority stake in Polyplastics. By the end of 2020, Daicel purchased the remaining minority stake from Celanese and attained 100% ownership of Polyplastics.^[6]^[7]^[8]
