Market Analysis

Methylcellulose Market Overview:

The market for methylcellulose is primarily propelled by its extensive usage in the construction industry for self-leveling compounds, gypsum-based plasters, cement mortars, and tile adhesives. Furthermore, the growing need for methylcellulose as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in food products, such as dairy, sauces, dressings, and bakery goods, as it enhances texture, viscosity, and shelf stability in different meal formulations, is propelling the market's expansion. Moreover, the extensive product need in personal care and cosmetics, including lotions, creams, shampoos, and hair styling derivatives, as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and binder is positively influencing the demand for methylcellulose. For instance, Ashland announced the next generation of modified methyl cellulose derivatives, Culminal GAP (Green Aware Performance), for premium cement adhesives. Culminal GAP (Green Aware Performance) is a high-performing cellulose ether utilized extensively in cementitious-based systems.

Methylcellulose Market Trends:

Extensive Utilization in the Food and Beverage Sector

Methylcellulose's extensive use as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer in food products like dairy, sauces, and dressings is among the main factors driving the demand for the substance. Furthermore, it improves the viscosity, texture, and shelf life of several kinds of meal formulations, raising their quality and consumer appeal, also stimulating the global market. The usage of methylcellulose in the food and beverage sector is also being supported by the rising demand for processed foods, convenience meals, and functional additives, which is further enhancing market expansion. For example, according to the All India Food Processors Association, the Indian food and beverage packaging industry is growing rapidly year-on-year and is expected to reach US$ 86 Billion in 2029, following the increasing urbanization levels, the inflating disposable incomes, and the evolving consumption patterns.

Furthermore, as per the latest data from the Barbecue Lab, around 83% of families in the United States eat at fast food restaurants at least once a week, and about 45% of individuals of the age group 20-39 residing in the country, eat fast food on any given day.

Rising Demand for Various Industrial Applications

Methylcellulose finds widespread applications in various industrial sectors, such as textiles, paints, coatings, and detergents. It is used as a thickener, binder, and protective colloid in industrial formulations, improving performance and processability, which is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, the expansion of several industrial manufacturing activities and the increasing need for specialty chemicals bolster the demand for methylcellulose in industrial applications. Additionally, the leading manufacturers are increasingly offering customized and specialty grades of methylcellulose to meet specific customer requirements and address niche purposes, which is also catalyzing the global market. For example, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO), in terms of share in world textile exports, China remained a global leader, with a share of around 31.7%.

Furthermore, according to Invest India, the Indian textile and apparel market size was estimated to be around US$ 165 Billion, with the domestic market constituting US$ 125 Billion and exports contributing US$ 40 Billion.
