Market Drivers
1: The spontaneous growth in the Pharmaceutical Industry
One key reason that will likely contribute to the expansion of the MCC market is the importance of the substance as a binder and a disintegrant of pills and capsules. The MCC is also highly used by pharmaceutical manufacturers due to its compressibility, flow and stability in multiple formulation conditions. The over-the-counter drugs, proliferating generic drugs markets, and the rising global healthcare demands help drive the current boost in the demand of pharmaceutical-grade MCC. The microcrystalline cellulose pharmaceutical market is steadily growing since the most popular basic type of drug administration is the drugs in tablets.
2: Increasing Demand of clean-label and Fiber-enriched Food Products
MCC is also getting growing demand in the food and beverage sector due to rising concern of health and clean-labeling and plant-based ingredients. MCC finds applications in bakery, dairy and ready to eat as fat replacer, thickening agent and texture enhancer. With the need of consumers to consume dietary fiber-enhanced and low-fat food products, the food-grade MCC market is expanding in developed as well as emergent areas. What adds bite to this trend is regulatory approval of MCC as safe as a food additive.
Source Segment Analysis: Wood-Based
Wood-based MCC segment seems to have the lion share in the market because of the high availability and renewability of wood pulp. The source provides consistent size of particles, high purity, and intensive mechanical behavior, and that is why it can be applied in pharmaceutical and food production. Also, the sustainability factor in the utilization of wood based raw materials is aligned with the environmental objectives of the end user’s industries thus this segment is the basis of sustainable microcrystalline cellulose market.
Form Segment Analysis: Powder
As far as form is concerned, powdered microcrystalline cellulose is the market leader due to its unparalleled flexibility and incorporations in dry formulations. It is highly compressible, which makes it the preferred medium in manufacturing tablets in pharmaceuticals and its anti-caking and stabilizing qualities are useful to food processors. It is also preferred in the segment because of its large storage life and convenience. The pure MCC powdered industry has not stopped expanding with the industries demanding cost-effective and reliable excipients and additives.
