GCC Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Market

GCC Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Market Overview:

The GCC hydroxypropyl methylcellulose market was worth US$ XX Billion in 2022, expanding at a CAGR of X% during 2017-2022. Looking forward, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around X% during 2023-2028, reaching a value of US$ XX Billion by 2028. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a semi-synthetic dietary fiber that belongs to the group of cellulose ethers. It is produced by the synthetic modification of alkali cellulose by treating wood pulp or cotton liner with propylene oxide, methyl chloride, and sodium hydroxide solution. HPMC is widely used in drug delivery, dyes and paints, cosmetics, adhesives, coatings, agriculture, and textiles. It is also used as a film former, thickening agent, binder, and hydrophilic matrix material. HPMC is an inert, viscoelastic, odorless, and tasteless substance that provides water-soluble properties, biodegradability, and enhanced biocompatibility. As a result, it finds extensive applications across the food and beverage (F&B), construction, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries.

One of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the HPMC market in GCC is the significant growth in the construction industry in the region. The polymeric organic compound is widely used in construction materials, such as cement-based mortar, gypsum concrete slurry, plasters, fiber walls, joint fillers, and self-leveling composites due to its high gel temperature, improved viscosity, ability to reduce flocculation, and resistance again high-temperature weather. Furthermore, the widespread product utilization in the F&B industry as an emulsifier, stabilizer, protective colloid, and thickener in the production of sauces, toppings, ketchup, frozen fruit, and bakery items is providing an impetus to the market growth. In line with this, increasing product demand among vegan consumers as a substitute for animal-derived gelatin in food products is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the rising utilization of HPMC in the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology as a support material in the printing process, owing to its cost-effectiveness, low printable temperature, and high biodegradability, is facilitating the market growth. Moreover, increasing product adoption in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder in tablet formulation and ocular lubricant for treating dry eyes and various ophthalmic procedures is providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Other factors, including rising application as a green lubricant in sustainable manufacturing, increasing product demand in printing and dyeing of textiles, and escalating HPMC demand in the paper-making industry, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
