Hydroxyethyl ester of cellulose is majorly used as a thickening agent and water binder in several industry applications including pharmaceutical formulations, adhesives, building materials, and personal use care products. The building materials application segment accounted for more than 14.0% of the revenue share in 2021 and is estimated to witness a significant growth rate in the near future. There is a clear growth in the consumption of HEC products due to the increasing utility of these products in building materials, along with consumer preference for sustainable products.
Increasing consumption in building materials coupled with rising demand from the cosmetics industry is expected to boost the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market, considering demand-supply restrictions and the shutdown of non-essential product warehouses. In 2020, the prices of cellulose witnessed a rise owing to low inventory levels and the shutdown of production plants. Low levels of inventory with recovering demand, challenges in container logistics, and reduced supply due to the shutdown of manufacturing plants negatively impacted the market amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
