Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global hydroxypropyl methylcellulose market on the basis of application and region:
Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Construction, Pharmaceuticals, Food, Cosmetics & Personal Care, Others.
- The construction application segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 40.0% in 2021. The large share is attributed to the increasing demand for HPMC in the industry due to its qualities such as water-holding capacity, ability to reduce flocculation and improve viscosity, and prevention of cracks.
- HPMC functions as a dispersant, water-retaining agent, thickener, and binder that is used to increase cohesiveness, workability, and shrinkage in the construction industry. It is extensively used due to its low price and different properties. HPMC is widely used in cement-based mortars, gypsum products, masonry mortars, joint fillers, tile adhesives, and self-leveling compounds, among others. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose has application in cement mortar, plasters, refractory materials, paints, gypsum concrete slurry, fiber walls, and others.
- The pharmaceuticals application segment accounted for the second-largest revenue share in 2021. It is commonly used as a thickener in alcohol hand sanitizers. The rising demand for hand sanitizersfollowing the outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly triggered the demand for HPMC globally. Depending on the viscosity requirement, the application dosage can be adjusted to optimize the production process and lower operational costs. HPMC solutions with maximum viscosity are widely used in eye drops. They have optimal compatibility with electrolytes and are thus, appropriate for use in eye drops as a thickening agent. In addition, the rising number of pharmaceutical companies across global emerging economies is expected to boost the overall demand for the product.
