The personal care & cosmetics industry is also a significant market driver as carboxymethyl cellulose film-forming, water-binding, and viscosity-control properties find applications in toothpaste, skin creams, shampoos, styling gels, and cleansing products. Increasing consumer preference toward mildly cellulose-derived ingredients that are biodegradable increases the use of such ingredients in these formulations. Carboxymethyl cellulose is also used in oil & gas exploration, mining activities, construction activities, paper production, detergent manufacturing, and textile processing. Carboxymethyl cellulose offers rheology adjustment, suspension stability, adhesive improvement, and fluid loss reduction.
Based on application, the industrial segment is the largest consumer of carboxymethyl cellulose. Oil and gas drilling fluids, paper & pulp processing, detergents, mining, textiles, adhesives, coatings, and building materials are examples of high-volume consumption of carboxymethyl. Increased infrastructure development, exploration of energy resources, consumption of specialty detergents, and modernization of technologies for paper production fuel the use of carboxymethyl cellulose. It offers a cost-effective and versatile solution in the industrial sector.
