Industry Brief
According to TechSci Research report, “Global Cellulose Ether & Its Derivatives Market By Product Type, By End-User, By Region, Competition,
Forecast & Opportunities, 2024”, Global cellulose ether & its derivatives market is projected to cross $ 5 billion by 2024, driven by increasing
construction activities along with growth of pharmaceutical and personal care industries. Some of the key players in the market are Ashland Inc.,
The Dow Chemical Company, Cp Kelco, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., Akzonobel, Ashland Inc., Daicel Finechem Ltd., Lotte Fine Chemicals,
DKS Co. Ltd. and China Ruitai International Holdings Co. Ltd.
In terms of end-user, the market has been segmented into construction, personal care, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings,
oilfield applications and others. Among the various application segments, the construction sub-segment holds the largest market share.
Cellulose ethers are widely used to prevent water loss, delay coagulation and enhance the strength of structures. They also perform functions
such as thickening, binding and act as a protective colloid in many industries including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, oil-field chemicals
and others (textiles and automobiles). Based on product type, the market has been segmented as carboxy methyl, methyl cellulose, ethyl
cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and others (hydroxyethyl, ethyl, hydroxypropyl, carboxymethyl cellulose, others. Among these product
types, carboxy methyl cellulose account for nearly half of the market share, owing to its increasing usage in pharmaceuticals, personal care and
food & beverages industries. In personal care industry, it is used in detergents and toothpaste and as a thickening agent in oil drilling activities.
“Government initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure is anticipated to propel the growth of construction industry, globally. Notably, the
market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for cellulose ether & its derivatives in
construction as binders, thickeners and water-retention agents. Increasing penetration of cellulose ethers in pharmaceuticals, paints and food
applications is also anticipated to have a positive impact on the global market.”, stated Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci
Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
