Key requirements for hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose

The global demand for hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose HPMC pharmaceutical excipients, including the MATURE markets of the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, accounts for 30% of the total. The United States is the world's largest single market for HPMC pharmaceutical excipients, accounting for 15.9% of global demand in 2009, of which thinners are the largest category of demand. Global demand for pharmaceutical excipients is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9% from 2009 to 2015. Mature markets, including America, Britain and Japan, will grow by 3.8%, while emerging markets, especially China, India and Brazil, will grow by 6.3%.

In recent years, the output of dry mortar in the world grows very rapidly, and the annual output exceeds 100 million tons. Much of this growth has taken place in countries such as Eastern Europe, Russia, Dubai and China. In these countries, the use of pre-processed products such as dry mortar has gradually led to a more industrial workforce. Dry mortar industry is the most developed industry in Europe. In 2004, about half of global demand -- about 90m tonnes -- was generated in Europe. In Europe, dry mortar plants use ultra-high speed mixers that can evenly mix one ton of raw material in three minutes per batch, with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons and a maximum daily output of 20,000 bags. The outlook for dry mortar industry is very positive. Any changes will give it new functions. In addition, the demand for applications such as left-handed HPMC and adhesives will continue to increase.
