One of the major drivers of the Carboxymethyl Cellulose market is the booming demand in the food & beverage industry. CMC is widely used as a thickener, stabiliser and texture improver in products such as ice-cream, sauces, bakery items and gluten-free formulations.
Simultaneously, industrial uses such as drilling fluids in oil & gas, paper processing, detergents and personal care products further widen the application base. With global consumption of these end-user industries rising, CMC demand benefits not only from food trends but from industrial growth and process-upgrade investment.
