Cellulose Gum/CMC Market Size, Share & Trends | Industry Report, 2018-2026
A surge
in demand for processed foods is a significant factor estimated to stimulate
market demand.
Market
Size – USD 1.37 billion in 2018, Market Growth - CAGR of 4.1%, Market Trends –
Growth of the pharmaceutical sector.
The
global Cellulose Gum/CMC Market is
expected to reach USD 1.90 Billion by 2026, according to a new report by
Reports and Data. Cellulose gum is extracted from the structural parts of
certain plants, mainly trees or cotton. The sources of cellulose gum are
cultivated sustainably and processed using a form of acetic acid and salt.
Increase in population will cause a rise in the demand for products in food and
beverages, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical sectors. This massive growth
in demand amongst end-use industry will raise the consumption of cellulose gum
across the globe.
The
carboxymethyl cellulose or CMC is used in numerous applications including food
and beverages, detergents, textiles, paints, and mining applications among
others. Of all the end-users, Food and Beverages industry dominates the global
market of cellulose gum. Owing to the growth in population, the food and beverages
industry would maintain its dominance in the market.
Growth
in the oil and rid drilling activities would also create an increase in demand
for cellulose gum in the upcoming years. A drilling fluid additive is used
mainly for fluid-loss control and is produced by reacting natural cellulose
with monochloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide to form CMC sodium salt. Almost
20% by weight of CMC may be sodium chloride, a by-product of the reaction, but
purified grades of carboxymethyl cellulose contain only small amounts of sodium
chloride.
Presence
of substitutes of cellulose gum like guar gum may create hindrances in the
growth of the market.
Further
key findings from the report suggest
- Technical grade CMC is used as a component of cleansers, while
purified grade is preferred in food& beverages, pharmaceuticals, and
cosmetics. Carboxymethyl cellulose is essentially used as a rheology
modifier, thickening operator, suspending agent, and stabilizer.
- Food grade CMC is forecasted to contribute to the largest market
share in the forecast period reaching USD 1.11 Billion by 2026 with a
growth rate of 4.1% in the forecast period. The purity of food grade CMC
is more than 99.5% and is used in food and beverages industry. A rapid
increase in the consumption of processed food which can be mainly
attributed to the rise in the level of disposable income of people in
developing countries is estimated to drive the market growth.
- Asia Pacific region is projected to dominate the market growing at
a CAGR of 4.2% in the forecast period with over 40% of the total market
volume in 2018. This dominance in the market is owing to the considerable
consumption of cellulose gum in oil & gas, food & beverages,
pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics industries in the region.
- Key participants include Ashland Inc., Sidley Chemical Co. Ltd.,
Daicel Corporation, The DOW Chemical Company, AKZO Nobel N.V., Nippon
Paper Industries Co. Ltd., DKS Co. Ltd., Lamberti S.P.A., DKS Co. Ltd., CP
Kelco U.S. Inc., and UGUR Seluloz Kimya A.S. among others.
- On September 2018, the CMC business segment of CP Kelco, a
significant player in the market, announced the increase in price of the
entire CMC product portfolio up to 10% worldwide. The price modifications
are triggered by the continuous increase in the cost of key raw materials
used to produce CMC.
