The carboxymethyl cellulose market size is forecast to increase by USD 526 million, at a CAGR of 5.54% between 2023 and 2028. The market's expansion hinges on multiple factors, notably the health-related advantages offered by linen products, the exponential surge in online retail transactions, and the continual introduction of new product lines. As consumers increasingly prioritize health and wellness, the demand for linen products, known for their breathability and hypoallergenic properties, continues to rise. Additionally, the convenience and accessibility afforded by online retail platforms fuel market growth, allowing consumers to easily access and purchase linen goods. Moreover, the continuous innovation and launch of new product varieties cater to evolving consumer preferences, contributing further to the market's upward trajectory. Our market growth analysis report examines historic data from 2018 - 2022, besides analyzing the current market scenario.
The carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) market is expanding due to its versatility in various industries, from pharmaceutical applications to food additives and personal care products. Derived from plant-derived cellulose and processed with monochloroacetic acid and caustic soda, CMC serves as a critical stabilizing agent in products like gluten-free baking and ice cream production, catering to consumers with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Its role extends into cosmetics and medical goods, supporting formulations in multicuisine foods and beauty products. Market growth is driven by dominance in the food supply sector and rising expenditure in social media-driven retail trade, including generic drugs and National Bureau-regulated generic drugs. As demand rises for health-conscious and functional ingredients, CMC continues to innovate, meeting stringent industry standards and expanding its presence in global markets.
The new product launches in the market will notably drive market growth. To widen their product portfolio and expand their customer base, several local and global vendors operating in the global carboxymethyl cellulose market are developing a wide range of high-quality products. Owing to the superior quality of these products, their demand is increasing across the world. This factor will, therefore, help drive the market's growth over the coming years.
For instance, in July 2021, Aldi Inc. (a subsidiary of ALDI Einkauf GmbH and Co. oHG) launched a brand new range of eco-friendly bed linen under Conscious Bedding that saves up to 52 plastic bottles per item. Therefore, a wide range of superior-quality products is regularly launched by various vendors operating in the global carboxymethyl cellulose market, which will drive the growth of the CMC market during the forecast period.
The growth in the construction industry is a major trend that will primarily drive the market growth. The growth in the global construction industry is expected to fuel the demand for carboxymethyl cellulose products worldwide. The major reasons behind the increasing constructions are the good economic situation prevailing across regions along with the increased emphasis on investments made by government authorities in developing infrastructure.
In addition to this, immigration and growing urbanization have led to an expansion in residential constructions across developed regions such as Europe and North America. For example, in 2020, the major countries contributing to the growth of the construction industry in Europe were Hungary, Poland, Ireland, and Portugal. Thus, the growth of the construction industry is expected to have a strong positive impact on the global carboxymethyl cellulose market during the forecast period.
The stringent regulations in the textile industry are expected to impede the market. The textile industry is subjected to several regulations, policies, and safety standards for consumer products, which aim to ensure consumer safety and well-being. The imposition of such stringent regulations by government authorities and the mandate to comply with them are serious challenges to the growth of the overall textile industry, including the carboxymethyl cellulose segment.
Further, several textiles and clothing regulations are imposed by various regulatory bodies operating in different regions. For example, the EU has imposed the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on fiber names (including linen products) and related labeling and marking of the fiber composition of textile products, which is in alignment with all the member countries. This is a major concern that will slow down the CMC market growth.

The market share growth by the food and beverages segment will be significant during the forecast period. Carboxymethyl cellulose is used in food and beverages as a food additive for various food products. It is used as a stabilizing, suspension, and thickening agent in food and beverage products as it can control the rheological property, structure, flavour, and appearance of products and their pseudoplastic properties. Carboxymethyl cellulose can be used to prevent the protein in yoghurt from condensation, as well as sedimentation and layering. Moreover, owing to its good homogeneity, carboxymethyl cellulose offers excellent stability in acid beverages.

The food and beverages segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 474.60 million in 2018. Carboxymethyl cellulose is also used in manufacturing fruit squashes. In fruit squashes, the proportion of solids is larger than that of liquids, so the solids in fruit squashes generally tend to settle at the bottom of the container as sediment. When carboxymethyl cellulose is added to fruit squash, it enables the flesh and fruit suspended in the packaging container to be well-distributed, full, bright, and striking in colour. Moreover, carboxymethyl cellulose helps in extending the storage life of fruit squashes. Carboxymethyl cellulose is also used as a non-caloric thickening agent and binder in ready-to-eat food products. It reduces the formation of ice crystals in frozen food. Overall, all these factors will lead to the CMC market growth.
