The global hydroxypropyl methylcellulose market size is expected to reach USD 2.85 billion by 2030. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2022 to 2030. The market growth is majorly attributed to the rising demand for low-fat food among the young population and product penetration in food and cosmetics applications.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, and light-colored powder, which forms a colloid solution as dissolved in cold water. It finds applications in various fields, ranging from construction to ophthalmology. It is being increasingly utilized in preparing biocomposites on account of its excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility.
The pharmaceuticals application segment held a considerable revenue share in 2021. The number of obese people worldwide is growing significantly due to the rising consumption of junk and ready-to-eat items. HPMC helps in reducing the appetite of obese individuals who are trying to lose weight. It is available in tablets and gives a feeling of fullness that helps reduce food intake.
The shutdown of various industries had an ill effect on the global market demand. It dipped sustainably due to the halt of construction projects. Additionally, the negative impact of the pandemic on key end-use industries such as construction, personal care and cosmetics, textile, and chemicals hampered the product demand in 2020.
This product will be delivered within 1-3 business days.
