Microcrystalline Cellulose Market is Expected to Showcase Rampant Growth Over 2030

Pune, India, March 2021, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market.

Market Highlights

Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market is likely to be valued at USD 1.85 billion by the end of 2030, registering a 6.78% CAGR during the forecast period.

Microcrystalline cellulose is a widely used binder and filler (diluents) in drug formulations due to its strong binding performance. It is used as a binder/filler in capsule and oral tablet formulations, including wet granulation and direct compression processes. Moreover, MCC is the most commonly used excipient for direct compression. Furthermore, due to its low residual die wall pressure and low coefficient of friction, MCC is used as disintegrant and lubricant.

Another major driver of the microcrystalline cellulose market is the sustainable growth of demand in the processed food industry.
