Market Overview:
The global pharmaceutical grade micro crystalline cellulose (MCC) 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 oral solid dosage forms (OSDF), capsules, and other applications from the pharmaceutical industry. In terms of type, the wood pulp-based MCC segment is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period, owing to its high purity and superior performance characteristics. However, refined cotton-based MCC is projected to grow at a higher CAGR than wood pulp-based MCC during the forecast period due to its growing demand from emerging countries such as China and India.

Product Definition:
Pharmaceutical grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a pharmaceutical excipient that is used in the manufacture of tablets and capsules. It is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that has a high degree of purity and solubility. MCC forms an excellent matrix for tableting and encapsulation and can be used to improve the flow properties of powders.
Wood Pulp Based:
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a highly purified cellulosic material, which has been used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It is produced by treating wood with acid and alkali at high temperature and pressure. MCC acts as a carrier for active ingredients in pharmaceutical dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, syrups and solutions.
Refined Cotton Based:
Refined cotton-based is a high purity, ultra-fine particle cellulose that has been processed to remove the lignin and hemicellulose. It contains an average of 90% of cellulose nanofibrillate (CNF) with an average fiber length of 10 nm as compared to other commercial grades which contain around 50% CNF.
Application Insights:
OSDF was the leading application segment in the global pharmaceutical grade microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) market, accounting for over 50.0% share of the overall revenue in 2017. The product is used as a filler in solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules owing to its high viscosity and non-toxic nature, which are ideal for parenteral administration. It is also used as an excipient to improve drug stability and prevent crystal formation during storage & transportation.
The demand for MCC from other applications including encapsulation will increase significantly over the forecast period on account of its ability to act as a stabilizer & release agent during formulation development stage of drug products containing oil-in-water emulsions or water-in-oil emulsions systems respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand in countries, such as China and India. In addition, increasing healthcare expenditure by governments and a growing aging population are some other factors driving regional market growth.
The wood pulp based segment is anticipated to witness significant gains owing to its wide usage in capsule manufacturing across various applications including dietary supplements, nutritional products, medicines among others. Asia Pacific was followed by Europe which accounted for 24% of the global revenue share in 2017 due to high demand from Germany and Italy on account of technological advancements along with increased consumption of pharmaceutical grade micro crystalline cellulose for producing tablets/capsules efficiently (in terms of size & shape) under stringent conditions required during tablet manufacturing process (i.e., low moisture content).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for MCC from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries as a filler, binder, and disintegrant in tablet formulations.
- Rising demand for MCC in food applications as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer.
- Growing use of MCC in personal care products as a bulking agent and viscosity modifier.
- Increasing production of biofuels that require high-quality cellulose fibers for ethanol production processes.
