Microcrystalline Cellulose Market worth $1.88 billion by 2030, at 7.1%, says MarketsandMarkets™

In terms of value, the Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Market size is expected to reach USD 1.88 billion by 2030 from USD 1.33 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.1%, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The market for microcrystalline cellulose is influenced by several primary factors, such as the existence of numerous manufacturers, government support, and increased microcrystalline cellulose production. Due to its exceptional properties such as excellent compressibility and binding capacity, high water-holding capacity and moisture retention makes it an essential material in applications such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and cosmetics & personal care. Microcrystalline cellulose exhibits outstanding compressibility, allowing it to form strong, cohesive compacts without the need for binders. This property is essential for tablet formulation in pharmaceuticals, ensuring tablets are robust enough to withstand handling and transportation. Microcrystalline cellulose is chemically inert, non-reactive with other formulation components, and stable under various conditions. It is not digested by the human body, passes through the system as insoluble dietary fiber, and does not contribute calories, making it ideal for low-calorie and dietary fiber-fortified foods.

  Key Findings of the Study:
  1. Wood dominated the source segment in terms of value in the microcrystalline cellulose market.
  2. Pharmaceutical application accounted for the largest share in the application segment in terms of value in the microcrystalline cellulose market.
  3. North America accounted for the largest share of the microcrystalline cellulose market in terms of value and volume.
    Based on source, the wood-based segment accounted for the largest share in the microcrystalline cellulose market. Wood is the traditional raw material used for microcrystalline cellulose production. Commercially produced wood pulp for this purpose is obtained from sources such as softwood trees (gymnosperms) and hardwood (dicotyledons). Gymnosperms include fir trees, spruce trees, pine trees, conifers, and cycads. The chemical properties of microcrystalline cellulose produced from different wood sources vary because of the differing composition of alpha-cellulose in each type of wood. Available microcrystalline cellulose is primarily derived from wood-based sources. Wood-derived cellulose chains are tightly packed and exhibit a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding, resulting in a crystalline structure ideal for microcrystalline cellulose production. This structure gives microcrystalline cellulose excellent binding and disintegration properties, which are especially important in pharmaceutical tablet formulation. The high purity and uniformity of wood-based microcrystalline cellulose make it the preferred choice for applications requiring product consistency and safety, such as drug manufacturing and food production processing.
    
    Based on application, the pharmaceutical industry is projected to dominate the microcrystalline cellulose market during the forecast period. Microcrystalline cellulose serves as a filler, binder, disintegrant, suspending agent, lubricant, and glidant in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is used in the direct compression method because it reduces production costs. Microcrystalline cellulose is a crucial ingredient in every form of oral dosage, including pellets, capsules, tablets, and sachets. Nearly all major pharmacopeias (USP, EP, BP, IP, JP, and others) recognize microcrystalline cellulose as safe for use as an inactive ingredient in pharmaceutical formulations. Its use is increasing in quick-release tablets & liquid dosage forms, sustained-release multi-particulates and matrix tablets, topical formulations, as well as chewable & effervescent tablets.
