Market Overview:
The global hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) for pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for HPC from the tablet, pellet, and liquid applications segments. Additionally, rising awareness about the benefits of using HPC is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, L-HPC and H-HPC are two major types of hydroxypropyl cellulose present in the pharmaceutical market. L-HPC is expected to account for a larger share than H-HPC during the forecast period owing to its superior properties such as high purity and low viscosity. By application, tablet segment accounts for a larger share than other segments due its growing demand from various end users including hospitals and clinics across different regions worldwide.
Product Definition:
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a derivative of cellulose, the main component of plant cell walls. It is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many pharmaceutical products, including eye drops and nasal sprays.
L-HPC:
L-HPC, also known as Cellulose ether, is a type of cellulose that is obtained from the hydrolysis of vegetable gums. It has high viscosity and molecular weight which makes it an ideal compound for pharmaceutical application. L-HPC can be used in various applications such as drug delivery systems, wound dressing materials and medical & surgical dressings among others.
H-HPC:
H-HPC is a high purity cellulose product, which has been developed by modifying the chemical and physical properties of regular cellulose. H-HPC is used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals to help deliver active ingredients to target tissues or organs. It helps in increasing bioavailability and absorption rate of other ingredients present in the formulation.
The global market for hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was valued at USD 536 million in 2016.
Application Insights:
Liquid formulations held the largest share of more than 40.0% in 2017. The segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its wide application scope, including as an emulsifier, wetting agent, dispersant and carrier for drug delivery systems. It also finds applications as a viscosity adjuster in ophthalmic solutions and is used as a stabilizing agent for tablets made from hydrophobic materials such as titanium dioxide or zirconium silicate. Hydroxypropyl cellulose plays an important role in ophthalmic solutions by providing visco-elastic properties to these drugs so that they can be easily dissolved in the eyes without causing any irritation or discomfort.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region owing to the presence of a large number of manufacturers in countries, such as China and India. The increasing demand for cellulose in pharmaceutical applications can be attributed to its growing use as an excipient agent in tablets and capsules. In addition, rising healthcare expenditure coupled with improving healthcare infrastructure is likely to drive industry growth over the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe that accounted for 31% share of total revenue in 2017 owing to high product consumption mainly due to its properties including water-solubility and emulsification ability which are major driving factors across this region. Moreover, technological advancements relatedto capsule manufacturing using HPC along with other additives have led tablet manufacturers across Europe adopt HPC as a filler material thereby boosting market growth over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC) from the Pharmaceutical industry as a result of its properties such as high purity, solubility, and viscosity.
- Growing research and development activities for new applications of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC) in the Pharmaceutical sector.
- Rising demand for Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC) from emerging markets due to increasing population and rising income levels.
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new products with better performance characteristics than those currently available in the market place driving increased adoption of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC). 5 Increased focus on hydroxy propyl cellulose by key players in pharmaceuticals owing to benefits offered which is likely to propel growth over forecast period
