Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market to Grow at 4.3% During 2025-2033, Supported by Rising Pharmaceutical Applications

December 27, 2024 | Chemical & Materials

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Microcrystalline Cellulose Market Report by Source Type (Wood-based, Non-Wood Based), Route of Synthesis (Reactive Extrusion, Enzyme Mediated, Steam Explosion, Acid Hydrolysis, Mechanical Grinding, Ultrasonication), End User (Pharmaceutical, Food and Beverages, Cosmetics and Personal Care, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global microcrystalline cellulose market reached a value of USD 1,339 Million in 2024. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a pure, partially depolymerized cellulose that is synthesized from fibrous plant materials. It can be processed using various techniques, such as reactive extrusion, acid hydrolysis, steam explosion, and enzyme mediated. MCC also uses mineral acids to reduce the degree of polymerization, thereby forming an inert, white, free-flowing powder. Apart from this, the product exhibits excellent compressibility, consistency, low density, short polymer chain, and high dilution and packing density. Consequently, MCC is finds extensive applications as fillers, stability enhancers, fat substitute, extender, disintegrant, and a bulking agent across the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.

Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market Trends:

One of the key factors driving the microcrystalline cellulose market growth is rising product utilization in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate quick release tablets, liquid dosages, matric tablets, topic formulations, dietary supplements, and chewable pills. In line with this, the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has further facilitated the demand for effective active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), such as MCC, across the globe. This, in turn, has prompted manufacturers to considerably invest in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovate, efficacious drugs that help reduce the morbidity associated with the disease. Additionally, evolving dietary patterns due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, particularly in emerging economies, has also led to the widespread adoption of MCC as a stabilizer and suspending agent in various food products, including frozen yogurt, ice cream, and other baked products. This is acting as a major growth-inducing factor. Other than this, the launch of bio-sourced MCC, along with the increasing product application as an additive for the third-dimensional (3D) fabrication of construction components due to its enhanced thermal strength and low power consumption are projected to drive the market further. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 1,952 Million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 4.3% during 2025-2033.
