Microcrystalline Cellulose Market Growth and Regional Share, Trends, Competitor Analysis through 2030

Derived from pulp of fibrous plants, microcrystalline cellulose is a partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by treating alpha-cellulose with mineral acids. Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used across food processing in ice cream, meringue, confections, whipped toppings and pharmaceutical industries as a binder in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The monocrystalline cellulose extends starches, controls ice crystal formation and stabilizes foams, thereby witnessing strong demand from pharmaceutical and food & beverage industries. The Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market stood at US$ 900 million in 2019.

The pharmaceutical industry is expanding globally with increased demand for advanced drugs fuelled by prevalence of infectious diseases and expanding geriatric population. Monocrystalline cellulose acts as diluent and binding agent across wide range of drug formulations and thus, is witnessing prominent demand. Another factor fuelling the growth of microcrystalline cellulose market is expanding food & beverage industry fuelled by increased demand for packaged and processed food. Fuelled by consistent demand for bulking and texturizing to improve shelf life of packaged food products, the demand for microcrystalline cellulose is anticipated to witness steady growth during the forecast period. However, high cost of manufacturing and availability of alternatives such as pectin, carboxymethylcellulose, guar gum, and xanthan gum is anticipated to impede the growth of microcrystalline cellulose market in coming years. The global microcrystalline cellulose market is expected to witness steady single-digit growth close to 5.0% during the forecast period.

Increased demand for non-wood based microcrystalline cellulose to drive market growth in coming years

The global microcrystalline cellulose market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and geography. Based on type, the global microcrystalline cellulose market is segmented into wood based microcrystalline cellulose and non-wood based microcrystalline cellulose. The wood based microcrystalline cellulose contributed a dominating share to the global market in 2019 and is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period. The non-wood based microcrystalline cellulose is anticipated to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to increasing investment in development of cost efficient and improved quality microcrystalline cellulose.
