Growing health concerns among
consumers and the consequent inclination towards low-fat foods is anticipated
to drive microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) market trends in the coming years.
Ongoing advances in technology aimed to use the ingredient to develop
innovative personal care products will likely play in key role in propelling
the industry outlook. In recent times, mounting environmental concerns have
encouraged manufacturers to obtain MCC, which is also known as refined wood
pulp, from non-wood sources.
There has been a surge in R&D
investments in the pharmaceutical sector which will prove to be a key growth
enabling factor for MCC market. For instance, the International Federation of
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) reported the total
R&D investment in the U.S. pharmaceutical sector during 2016 to be more
than USD 60 billion. As an increasing number of manufacturers focus on
technological advances and product innovations to gain competitive edge, these
numbers are projected to rise further.
Majority of R&D activities
have been aimed to enhance the mechanical properties of the product.
Manufacturers are experimenting with advanced technologies and innovative methods
such as the use of silicified microcrystalline cellulose (SMCC) to achieve the
same. In this method, a low compressible grade product is co-processed with
silicon dioxide (SiO2) as excipient. Preferably, a 98:2 ratio of cellulose and
SiO2 is used to obtain lubricated or silicified MCC.
SMCC offers superior binding
properties as well as excellent lubrication efficiency. Enhanced blending
properties offered by SMCC allows manufacturers to develop distinctive and
low-cost formulations particularly in the production of tablets. The method can
apparently be used for both MCC-l and MCC-II to manufacture SMCC-l and SMCC-II
respectively.
Wood pulp is the majorly used and
most easily available source of cellulose used to manufacture MCC.
Manufacturers usually ink long-term manufacture and supply agreements with
end-use industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical and personal
care to consolidate the supply chain. However, stricter norms driven by rising
environmental concerns are forcing manufacturers to switch to non-wood based
sources of cellulose.

Food & beverage industry
segment in global MCC industry share will experience lucrative growth in the
coming years. This can be primarily attributed to extensive product use in the
food & beverage sector as a stabilizing agent to extend the shelf life of products.
MCC does not react with milk protein which makes it suitable for use in dairy
applications. The product acts as a dispersing and suspending agent and helps
prevent the sedimentation of insoluble particles in dairy products.
Asia pacific MCC market is poised
to witness robust growth over the forecast timeframe. Rapid urbanization and
industrialization along with a fast-growing population has resulted in the
expansion of food & beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care industries
in the region. APAC is also facing strong demand for paints & coating
products.
Growth of emerging economies such
as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam is favoring the business growth.
Manufacturers are increasingly focusing to develop high-quality products to
address the growing consumer demands. Increased R&D activities undertaken
by industry players to use non-wood based sources of cellulose will drive the
regional growth.
