Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Non-ionic Water-soluble Cellulose Ether market size was valued at US$ 3239 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4594 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
In 2025, global Non-ionic Water-soluble Cellulose Ether production reached approximately 520,330 Tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 6,050 per ton. Non-ionic Water-soluble Cellulose Ether is a type of chemically modified cellulose derivative that is nonionic in nature (i.e., it has no net electrical charge in solution) and is soluble in water. These compounds are widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, food, cosmetics, and paints due to their excellent thickening, binding, film-forming, and stabilizing properties.
Non-ionic Water-soluble Cellulose Ethers include HPMC, HEMC, HEC, MC, HPC, and EC. HPMC, HEMC, and HEC are the most widely used, serving as film-forming agents, adhesives, dispersants, water-retention agents, thickeners, emulsifiers, and stabilizers.
With increasing global demand for sustainable development and environmental protection, Non-ionic Water-soluble Cellulose Ethers, due to their biodegradable, non-toxic, and renewable properties, have become an ideal alternative to traditional synthetic thickeners, particularly in architectural coatings, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging.
In the construction industry, HPMC and HEC are key additives in cement mortars and tile adhesives, improving water retention, bond strength, and workability. With the promotion of green buildings and energy-saving building materials, demand for cellulose ethers continues to grow.
