Asia-Pacific microcrystalline cellulose accounts for nearly a quarter of total market revenue in 2017. Get Sample Report
Microcrystalline cellulose is a refined cellulose without calories, used as a bulking agent, anti-caking agent, and emulsifier. This cellulose is derived from high quality wood pulp. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder or diluent in tablet and capsule formulations. It can be used in both wet granulation and direct compression processes for tablet formation. This cellulose is consumed as a natural source of dietary fiber. Used in the food and beverage industry for anti-caking agents, texture modifiers, suspending agents, stabilizers, and other applications. Mainly contained in processed foods, ideally a healthy food additive. Helps provide a creamy texture to dairy products without adding any fat. Low-fat dairy products are mainly manufactured using microcrystalline cellulose. It is also used in personal care products.
Growing demand for processed foods and beverages in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and LAMEA will drive market growth. In addition, the steady increase in the consumption of pharmaceuticals such as tablets and capsules complements the market growth. However, the high price of microcrystalline cellulose, combined with the availability of alternative products such as magnesium stearate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), is expected to hinder market growth. Conversely, increased demand for microcrystalline cellulose in emerging economies is expected to create a favorable opportunity for future market growth.
