Global Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)
Report Overview
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a type of cellulose derivative that is widely used in various industries as an additive, excipient, or filler. It is composed of small, crystalline particles of cellulose, which is a naturally occurring polymer found in the cell walls of plants.
MCC is primarily produced from purified wood pulp or other plant sources through a process of partial hydrolysis, purification, and milling. The resulting material is a white, odorless powder with excellent flow properties and a high degree of purity.
The global Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) market size is projected to reach US$ 1659.14 Million by 2029 from US$ 1035.10 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 6.98% during 2023-2029. Significant growth in the global pharmaceutical industry is Microcrystalline Cellulose Market core driver of development. Biopharmaceutical R&D expenditures have increased significantly in recent years, and MCC is one of the most important and widely used excipients in the pharmaceutical industry. MCC is one of the most commonly used direct compression adhesives and is generally considered the best thinner for bonding. Biopharmaceutical R&D spending has grown substantially in recent years. Therefore, the use of microcrystalline cellulose in the pharmaceutical industry will witness rapid growth during the forecast period, thereby driving the overall microcrystalline cellulose market.
On the other hand, food and beverage applications of microcrystalline cellulose have been in high demand in recent years, thereby boosting the market growth. It is traditionally used as a thickener and emulsifier, binder, filler and anticracking agent in a variety of food products, including bakery products, meat, dairy and seafood products. MCC can be used as a food additive. It has unique advantages because it is natural and pure, tasteless and non-toxic, and does not affect color, taste and shape. Factors such as increasing usage in the cosmetics and skincare industry, demand from consumers and various industries for products with natural and plant-based ingredients, and growth of non-wood-based MCC also play an important role in the growth of the microcrystalline cellulose market.
At the same time, factors such as the availability of alternatives for specific food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, the production cost of MCC, and the disadvantages of MCC will act as a hindrance to the MCC market, and market players need to maintain more attention on this.
Segment by Type, the Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) can be split into Wood Pulp Based, Refined Cotton Based, etc. Although there are many different sources of plant cellulose used to make MCC, wood and cotton are always fibers The main industrial source of vitamins. The Wood Pulp Based category contributed the highest revenue to the market and already accounted for 87.08% of the market share in 2022.
Pulp from a variety of tree species is readily available and cost-effective compared to other raw materials used in MCC production, such as refined cotton. Wood pulp is sourced from sustainable forestry practices, ensuring a consistent, reliable supply for MCC manufacturers. The cost advantage of wood pulp MCC makes it the preferred choice for many industries including pharmaceuticals.
Classified by Application, the Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) can be split into Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Food & Beverage, Cosmetics & Personal Care, Others. The Pharmaceutical segment already accounted for more than 50% market share in 2022 and is expected to grow during the forecast period maintain this dominance. Microcrystalline cellulose is a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It has excellent compressibility and is used in solid dosage forms such as tablets. It is the most widely used direct compression excipient and can be used as a strong dry binder, tablet disintegrant, absorbent, filler or Thinner, lubricant and anti-sticking agent. The growth of the pharmaceutical industry depends on factors such as the number of diseases, the price of drugs, how people feel about them, government (and insurance company) policies, and the number of drugs available. This, in turn, increases the demand for microcrystalline cellulose.
On basis of geography, the Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe already accounted for 32.70 in 2022 %, 30.62% and 27.32% of the market share. But during the forecast period 2023-2029, the Asia-Pacific market will witness the highest growth rate and is expected to be the market with the highest market share. Growing demand for microcrystalline cellulose from the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries in countries such as China and India is expected to drive the demand for microcrystalline cellulose in the region. At present, China is the largest producer and exporter of APIs in the world, accounting for about 20% of the total production of APIs in the world. This is due to increased government support and low utility costs. In 2021, there will be more than 7,000 raw material drug manufacturers in China's raw material drug market, a five-fold increase in five years, with an annual production capacity of more than 2 million tons. India is the largest supplier of generic drugs, meeting 40% of generic drug demand in the United States and 30% of generic drug demand in the United Kingdom.
