What is Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)?

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble cellulose derivative produced by chemically modifying natural cellulose. It functions as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, and emulsifier, widely used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, personal care, detergents, textiles, paper, and oilfield applications.

Factors Affecting Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Prices

CMC prices are influenced by cellulose pulp and cotton linters costs, along with chemical inputs such as sodium hydroxide and monochloroacetic acid. Energy prices, labor costs, environmental regulations, and demand from food, pharmaceutical, and oilfield industries also significantly affect pricing.

Supply and Prices Overview (Q4 2025)

In Q4 2025, global CMC supply remained adequate, supported by strong production capacity in Asia. Prices varied regionally due to differences in feedstock costs, export demand, and logistics. Some markets experienced firm pricing amid steady consumption, while others remained competitive.

Carboxymethyl Cellulose Price Index

The CMC price index in Q4 2025 reflected mixed regional movements. Export-oriented regions recorded firmer index readings due to strong overseas demand, while markets with ample inventories and competitive domestic supply showed relatively stable index trends.
