Product Definition:
Methylcellulose is a water soluble, non-digestible, natural carbohydrate polymer derived from cellulose. It is used as an emulsifier, thickener and stabilizer in food products.
Industrial Grade:
Industrial grade is a high purity form of cellulose, which is manufactured by chemical treatment at very high temperatures. It has several industrial applications such as in paints, coatings, adhesives & sealants and paper industries. Methylcellulose (MC) market demand was highest for industrial grade owing to its usage in various end-use industries such as paint & coatings, adhesives & sealants and paper industry among others.
Pharmaceutical Grade:
Pharmaceutical grade is a term used for products that are of the highest quality and purity. It is also known as fine or pure grade cellulose. It has several applications in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, cosmetics, nutraceuticals industries.
Application Insights:
The global methylcellulose market is segmented on the basis of application into clinical, construction materials, cell culture/virology and consumer products. The clinical segment held the largest share in 2017 owing to increasing demand formethylcellulose from various end-use industries such as pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Methylcellulose acts as a binder in emulsion tablets & capsules making process which helps maintain stability during manufacturing. It also finds applications in coating formulation for dry-mix paints & coatings used in architectural applications such as doors and windowsills that require high strength resistance against impact damage without adding excessive weight to the final product.
Methyl cellulose is widely utilized across all phases of drug development due to its ability to act as an efficient solubilizer for hydrophobic drugs leading towards improved bioavailability of drugs upon oral administration.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market for global methylcellulose and accounted for 35.0% of the total revenue in 2017. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to rising demand from end-use industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, cosmetics and others. China is one of the major producers of methyl cellulose in this region due to availability of raw materials at a low cost coupled with easy accessibility to labor and capital.
The growth in India can be attributed to increasing government initiatives towards manufacturing value-added products from agricultural crops like jaggery which are abundant here unlike other countries where they have import quota on agarwood etc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for processed foods: The global processed food market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2016 to 2021. This growth can be attributed to the increasing urbanization and changing lifestyles, which have led to an increase in the demand for convenience foods. Methylcellulose is used as a thickener and stabilizer in many processed foods, thus driving its demand.
- Rising awareness about the health benefits of methylcellulose: Methylcellulose has various health benefits such as weight loss, improved digestion, and better blood sugar control among others. This has led to an increase in its demand from consumers worldwide.
- Growing use of methylcellulose in pharmaceuticals: Methylcellulose is used as a binder and disintegrant in tablets and capsules manufacturing process owing to its binding properties and ability to disintegrate quickly upon contact with water molecules present inside the stomach cavity respectively .This is expected drive the growth of the methyl cellulose market during forecast period .
