News: DFE Pharma Launched Pharmacel sMCC 90

On  July 7^th, 2021; DFE Pharma, a provider of pharmaceutical excipient solutions, launched Pharmacel sMCC 90, silicified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Pharmacel sMCC 90 has been developed as the synergistic solution for challenging oral solid dosage formulations. Among several advancements in formulation science, co-processed excipients are gaining popularity as they offer effective means to rapidly develop products for early human trials, while minimizing the risk to product quality.

Asahi Kasei Built a Second Plant for Ceolus Microcrystalline Cellulose

On January 13^th, 2021; Asahi Kasei's Specialty Solutions SBU built a second plant for microcrystalline cellulose at its Mizushima Works in Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan. Asahi Kasei currently manufacturing Ceolus, microcrystalline cellulose used primarily in pharmaceuticals as tablet binder, in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan. Besides the standard-type product PH series, Ceolus has a lineup of KG series that greatly enhances the compatibility of tablets and the UF series that combines compatibility and flowability. These products provide solutions to a wide range of issues in the production of tablets for pharmaceuticals and supplements.

Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market Dynamics:

The increasing usage of microcrystalline cellulose in the pharmaceutical industry as a stabilizer, binder, and disintegrant in the formulation of tablet, ointments, and other topical therapeutic bases is one of the major factors driving the growth of global microcrystalline cellulose market. It is used as an excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. In the pharmaceutical formulation, microcrystalline cellulose used as a blinding agent and key diluent. Microcrystalline cellulose is used in the preparation of drugs such as tablets, capsules, sachets, and so on. The increasing production and demand of pharmaceutical products is further driving the global microcrystalline cellulose market. The developing countries such as Japan, Brazil, and India are the rapidly expanding markets which is expected to drive the microcrystalline cellulose further.

However, there are few alternatives for particular pharmaceutical and food & beverage applications that may restrain the growth of the microcrystalline cellulose market. There are a few products that fare better than microcrystalline cellulose and have very specific applications which can replace the microcrystalline cellulose market. Some of the available products are croscarmellose sodium (CCS), kappa-carrageenan, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The use of Carboxymethyl cellulose in food & beverages is to stabilize emulsions in food products such as ice creams and baking products. Currently, microcrystalline cellulose is produced by using wood pulp. Production of microcrystalline cellulose using wood is very costly and production of microcrystalline cellulose by using non-wood is cost-effective. The non-wood’s sources are from agricultural waste which has lesser environmental impact than wood-sourced microcrystalline cellulose. New production techniques to produce microcrystalline cellulose from non-wood are underway to manufacture. Additionally, non-wood sources are cheaper than wood sources and easily available. Hence, the overall manufacturing of microcrystalline cellulose cost is lower for non-wood-based microcrystalline cellulose, resulting in cheaper end-product. Thus lowering in price of microcrystalline cellulose will significantly create more opportunities for the further growth of the market.    

Global Microcrystalline Cellulose Market Regional Analysis:

North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global microcrystalline cellulose market due to the continuous advancements and innovation in technologies and the presence of major urbanization centers like Mexico, New York in this region. Asia Pacific is also expected to have the fastest growth in the microcrystalline cellulose market owing to the rising growth of the pharmaceutical industry especially in Japan, China and India. For example; China is the world’s second-largest market for pharmaceuticals and the fastest emerging market for the sector. And, Microcrystalline cellulose is a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry owing to its excellent compressibility properties. Thus, high growth of the pharmaceutical industry I this region is expected to foster the demand for Microcrystalline cellulose.
