Global Carboxymethyl Cellulose Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Carboxymethyl Cellulose market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1914 million in 2025 to US$ 2219 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% from 2025 to 2031.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (also referred as CMC and Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose) can be described as an anionic water-soluble polymer produced from naturally occurring cellulose by etherification, substituting the hydroxyl groups with carboxymethyl groups on the cellulose chain.

Carboxymethyl cellulose is used as binder, thickening agent, suspension agent, and bulking agent in variety of application.

The market size of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is large, however the concentration of CMC is not quite high. From regional perspective, CMC"s production is mainly distributed in Asia and Europe. The supply of carboxymethylcellulose in North America and elsewhere is heavily dependent on these regions for import. Leading companies worldwide include CP Kelco, Ashland, Akzo Nobel, Daicel, Ugur Seluloz Kimya AS, DKS, Dow Chemical,etc. CP Kelco is the world"s largest supplier of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, accounting for 15% of global production.
