Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), also known as hypromellose, is a non-ionic cellulose mixed ether that is widely used in industrial applications. It is a semi-synthetic, inert, and viscoelastic polymer, primarily appearing as a white to off-white fibrous powder or granules. HPMC is soluble in water and some organic solvent systems but is insoluble in ethanol. The primary application of industrial-grade HPMC is in the construction industry, where it enhances the performance of cement-based materials. Other applications include synthetic resin production, petrochemicals, ceramics, paper manufacturing, leather processing, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.
The global Industrial Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose market was valued at USD 799 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,271.75 million by 2032, reflecting a CAGR of 5.30% over the forecast period. CAGR of 5.30% (2025 – 2032)
