Carboxymethyl Cellulose Market: Preeminence of APEJ to Endure

Posted by Arslan on February 11th, 2019

Future prospects of the carboxymethyl cellulose market are likely to be positive, as surge in the popularity of pharmaceutical specialty drugs fuel adoption of CMC, states a new Fact.MR report. The report envisages the carboxymethyl cellulose market to record a modest 4.6% volume CAGR over the forecast period, 2018 to 2028. Worldwide sales of carboxymethyl cellulose will bring in revenues over US$ 2,500 Mn by 2028-end. The FDA-approved disintegrant for pharmaceuticals, CMC improves the dissolving capability of medicines, thereby enhancing their meant effect, which in turn has been driving CMC demand in the pharmaceutical industry.

A significant surge in demand for pharmaceutical specialty drugs has been witnessed since the recent past, which is a key trend influencing adoption of carboxymethyl cellulose. Specialty drugs have revolutionized the medicines, aiding improvement in survival and life quality of chronic disease-affected patients. Approximately half of new FDA-approved drugs are currently deemed as specialty pharmaceuticals. The FDA has further approved carboxymethyl cellulose application as a disintegrant in pharmaceuticals, as CMC enhances effect of medicines by improving their dissolving capability.

3D Bio-printability of Carboxymethyl Cellulose-based Hydrogel will Augur Well for the Market Growth

Hydrogels have sought extensive applications in biomedical engineering, such as drug delivery agents, antibacterial, wound dressing, and tissue engineering. Natural hydrogels are considered as scaffold material in light of their bio-compatibility. However, mechanical integrity of hydrogels, particularly in 3D scaffold architecture, prevails as a key challenge. 3D bio-printing has emerged as a revolutionary technology for in vitro reproduction of 3D functional living tissue scaffold via controlled layer-by-layer biomaterial deposition, coupled with high-precision cell positioning.

Inclining Preference Toward Carboxymethyl as Stabilizing Agent in Food & Beverages – A Key Trend

Carboxymethyl cellulose has been used in several frozen food & beverages as a stabilizing agent and viscosity improving agent. Finished wines and ice creams are key application areas for CMC, as it deprives the need for salt ice mixers, thereby trimming the cost of ice cream production, and it saves processing time & energy by preventing formation of the potassium bi-tartrate crystals in finished wines. Carboxymethyl cellulose’s foray as cold stabilizers in food & beverages has proved to be a monetary boon for manufacturers, by eliminating the use of expensive cold stabilizers.

Lucrativeness of the carboxymethyl cellulose market in Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) will continue to remain higher than other regional segments incorporated in the report. CMC demand in APEJ’s food & beverage industry will remain robust, underpinned by the occupancy of relatively higher consumption base. Additionally, relatively higher incidence of chronic ailments in the region have led to increased demand for pharmaceuticals, thereby paving avenues for carboxymethyl cellulose. Nearly two-fifth value share of the carboxymethyl cellulose market will be held by APEJ by 2028-end.
