The global Ethyl Cellulose market has expanded to reach approximately 17 thousand tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 6.27% during the forecast period until 2032.

Ethyl cellulose is a type of cellulose but some of its the hydroxyl groups on the repeating glucose units are replaced by ethyl ether groups. Ethyl Cellulose is synthesized by chemical reaction of ethyl chloride with alkali cellulose. There are widespread applications of ethyl cellulose in various industries. Its major application is in the pharmaceutical sector owing to its hydrophobic nature. In the pharmaceutical sector, Ethyl Cellulose is employed as a coating substance, pill binder, and matrix shaper in microcapsules, and aids in controlled release dosage forms. Its non-toxic and tasteless nature makes it a suitable nature for packaging purposes. Moreover, it is also used as a food additive for the purpose of thickening or emulsifying liquids. Furthermore, in the cosmetic and skin care products like shaving cream and lotion, ethyl cellulose is employer as thickening agent. In addition to being often employed as a coating and binding agent in polymer and packaging sectors, ethyl cellulose is a fragrance component in cosmetic items.

The primary market driving factor of Ethyl Cellulose is in the pharmaceutical sector. Ethyl cellulose include preventing the breakdown of water-sensitive medications, acting as a film-forming agent to improve the appearance of tablets, and isolating flavor of the medicine. As biocompatible models for creating novel drug delivery systems with a variety of pharmaceutical uses with pharmacotherapeutic targets, cellulose-based biomaterials are frequently used. Owing to growing population and improved healthcare facilities, the demand of medicines and drugs anticipated to result in expansion of the Ethyl Cellulose market in the forecast period. Moreover, with growing demand of personal care items such as makeup, which will further swell up the Ethyl Cellulose market in the forecast period. Moreover, the usage of ethyl cellulose for food packaging also contributes to the market. The global Ethyl Cellulose market will most likely reach 35 thousand tonnes by 2032.

Based on region, the APAC is dominating the Ethyl Cellulose market with major demands from developing nations like India, China, Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea. In 2021, this region accounted for consumption of approximately 52% of the market. In western countries, Ethyl Cellulose market is primarily driven by its application as a food additive in numerous food items for stabilizing and thickening nature. Moreover, China is the leading manufacturer of Ethyl Cellulose, followed by USA.

Based on the end-user industry, the global Ethyl Cellulose market is segregated into Pharmaceutical Industry, Food Packaging, Electronic items, Personal care and cosmetic, and Others. As of 2021, the Pharmaceutical Industry is dominating the Ethyl Cellulose market with a market share of 35% and is expected to show this trend in the upcoming years as well. Ethyl Cellulose is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a coating agent, flavoring fixative, binding agent, filler, film-former, drug carrier, or stabilizers. As a reinforcement material in the tablet, this ingredient allows the tablets to sustain their shape and form for long periods of time.

Major players in the production of Global Ethyl Cellulose are Shangdong Head Co. Ltd, Sidley Chemical Co.,Ltd., Colorcon, DuPont, Ashland Global Holding Inc, Asha Cellulose (I) Pvt. Limited, Ruitai International Holdings Co., Ltd, and others.
