Drivers:
Growing demand for functional ingredients in the food that helps in making food gluten-free and low-fat content is expected to drive the market growth of carboxymethyl cellulose. It helps in thickens and stabilize the food and also replaces food by increasing fiber content in food. Moreover, growing demand for frozen desserts that have low in fat content and gluten-free is again expected to propel the market growth. CMC helps in preventing melting of ice creams and yogurts and maintain the texture of desserts.Increasing demand for natural stabilizers from the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing of various drugs is expected to fuel the market growth of carboxymethyl cellulose. Rising geriatric populations is driving demand for healthcare needs which is influencing industrial growth. Thus, the growing demand for natural stabilizers for drug manufacturing is expected to augment the market growth of carboxymethyl cellulose.
Asia Pacific region dominated the global carboxymethyl cellulose market in 2019, accounting for 35.9% share in terms of value.
Market Restraints
Threat from substitute such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, guar gum, ethylcellulose and methylcellulose as they possess similar properties and can replace carboxymethyl cellulose in numerous applications. This factor is expected to hinder the market growth of the carboxymethyl cellulose.The decline in raw material quantity is hampering the production of the carboxymethyl cellulose. This is affecting the demand and supply of the product. This factor is projected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.Â
Market Opportunities
