Carboxymethyl cellulose helps avoid the formation of sandy texture in half-frozen products such as milk shakes and fruit punches. In cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors, the high purity grade of carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a fat-free ointment base or tablet filling matrix. Mixed esters of carboxymethyl cellulose, such as carboxymethyl cellulose acetate butyrate, exhibit zero-order release of the active component when used as a filling matrix for drug-delivery agents.

Increase in demand for hydrocolloids in foodstuffs, owing to the rapid growth of convenience food & beverages sector is likely to drive the demand for carboxymethyl cellulose in the near future. Some consumers are allergic to gluten. This makes them intolerant to conventional gluten-containing desserts such as low-fat ice creams, non-fat ice creams, frozen novelties, and frozen yogurt. Carboxymethyl cellulose acts as a thickener and stabilizer in ice creams and other frozen desserts. This helps maintain the texture and appearance of desserts. Furthermore, carboxymethyl cellulose is available at lower cost than other thickeners and stabilizers. These factors are estimated to propel the demand for carboxymethyl cellulose in the food & beverages segment in the near future.
Asia Pacific Dominates Carboxymethyl Cellulose Market
Based on volume and revenue, Asia Pacific led the global carboxymethyl cellulose market in 2019. Countries with large population and high growth in middle-class population, such as China and India, offer lucrative opportunities to the market in Asia Pacific. Sales of packaged food are rising in India, owing to an increase in disposable income of consumers. Asia Pacific is a prominent market for fast food, with significantly large markets in China, Japan, and India.
