The market size of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is expected to reach 6.27 billion US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 2.25% by 2029

The Asia Pacific region dominates the global HPMC market. This growth can be attributed to improved investment and demand in the construction and infrastructure industries driven by population growth. The European Federation of Chemical Engineers (EFCE) reported that China and India were the main contributors to the global construction industry in 2020.

According to data from the International Trade Center,  India and China accounted for 14.1% and 26.1% of this growth, respectively. India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and measures such as Prime Minister Awas Yojana have led to a surge in demand for construction and infrastructure. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) is a semi-synthetic, inactive, viscoelastic polymer mainly made from refined cotton, flake alkali, epichlorohydrin, chloroform, and acetic acid. HPMC has excellent water retention, thickening, emulsifying, dispersing, and adhesive properties and is widely used in fields such as construction, medicine, and cosmetics.
