Global and Chinese Carboxyl methyl Cellulose (CMC) Market Size, Share,
Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights, Analysis, Research, Report,
Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast Report To 2020
Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) is also referred to as cellulose gum. Its properties include nontoxicity, high viscosity, chemical stability, and physiological inertness. CMC is odorless,
tasteless, and hypoallergenic.
Global and Chinese carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) industry was valued at USD 1.15 billion in
2014. Its revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2015 to 2020 (forecast period).
This can be attributed to various applications across industries including detergents, paper
processing, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, etc.
CMC acts as a thickener, binder, dispersant, and a stabilizer. Growth of the aforementioned enduse sectors is having a favorable effect on the CMC market. This is true for the global as well as
the Chinese markets. However, availability of substitutes in many applications could inhibit
demand for CMC. The chemical can be replaced by guar gum in most applications.
Main raw materials used to make CMC are caustic soda, plant-derived cellulose, and
monochloroacetic acid. Therefore variations in pricing and supply of these materials affect CMC
production. An important determiner of future market growth is the regulatory environment
governing CMC use. Norms established by the USFDA (United States Food and Drug
Administration) will influence its demand in the food and beverage industry.
