Recent Developments
Food & beverage applications of microcrystalline cellulose have witnessed a significant demand in recent years. Traditionally, it has been utilized as a thickening and emulsifying agent, binder, filler, and anti-cracking agent in several foods such as bakery products, meats, dairy, and seafood products.
MCC is known as an excellent alternative to fats. Since, it is derived from plants, the usage of MCC in the food & beverages industry is anticipated to propel due to the growing preference for plant-based products from consumers in near future.
Besides this, several research and innovations in recent years have shown that MCC can act as a soil conditioner and agrochemical in the agricultural industry, density controller and flowability enhancer in detergents, adhesive in general industries, substitute in rubber production, and absorber in dye industries. These applications and many more are expected to facilitate opportunities for MCC in industrial applications.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is optimally derived from wood pulp which accounts for a prominent portion of the overall production of MCC. It needs plenty of tree wood obtained by cutting natural resources like forests. This process poses a lot of environmental challenges and restrictions from the governments. Hence, the wood-based production of MCC is being replaced by other natural resources like cotton crops, bamboo farming, corn, banana, and soybean crops, etc.
Competitive Landscape
Prominent players operating in the global microcrystalline cellulose market acquire a crucial share of the industry. The threat of new entrants is low because of the initial capital investment in establishing the production lines.
Knowing the significant demand from end-use industries, the market players are looking to expand their production capacities along with new supply chain developments to enter into emerging markets. A few leading players also invest in research and development to introduce new applications and product grades of microcrystalline cellulose in the market.
