The Global Market for Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Spheres

0

Published February 2022 | 45 pages, 7 tables, 4 figures | Table of contents

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Spheres are mainly used in the pharmaceutical industry. Other current or potential applications include cosmetic additives, food additives, paint additives, composites, packaging materials and insulation. In pharma applications they are used to bulk, disintegrate, bind, lubricate, enhance stability and extend drug release. As a natural, fibre-rich components, they are nontoxic and chewable. These properties can also be translated to other applications. 

Report contents include:

  • Technology analysis including preparation, source materials, synthesis, properties, commercial products. 
  • Market analysis including current markets and future markets. Markets covered include Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food additives, Composites, Packaging, Insulation and Paint and coatings. 
  • Profiles of 15 producers. Companies profiled include Ashai Kasei, Cellutech, Dupont, JRS Pharma, Seppic and Sigachi Industries.
