Carboxymethyl Cellulose Market is anticipated to grow with a stable CAGR through 2018 to 2023

Synopsis: Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups attached to the hydroxyl groups of glucopyranose monomers. The product is generally used as its sodium salt. The major applications of CMC are in food & beverage, paper processing, and cosmetics and personal care, among others. In the foods & beverage industry, CMC is mainly used as a viscosity modifier, thickener, and emulsifier. The product is also used in fat-free food products. Additionally, CMC is a major constituent of non-consumable food items such as toothpaste, diet pills, and laxatives.
Moreover, water-based paints, reusable heat packs, detergents, and paper processing require substantial amounts of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). By application, the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) market has been categorized into, food & beverage, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceuticals, paper processing, oil & gas, paints and coatings, detergents, and others. The food & beverage segment is expected to be the largest. The product is widely used in making ice cream, baked goods, and chewing gum to improve the flavor, texture, and quality of the product. Furthermore, surging demand for processed food is likely to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Regional Analysis: The Global Carboxymethyl Cellulose Market has been segmented into Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa.
Among these, Asia-Pacific was the dominant carboxymethyl cellulose market with more than a 40% share in 2017. This can primarily be attributed to the growing demand from the well-established pharmaceutical and personal care industries in this region. Favorable government policies pertaining to food processing is likely to boost the growth of the market in this region.
