Market reports indicate that Poly Anionic Cellulose prices are typically quoted in USD per metric ton (USD/MT). Based on data from various industry analyses, the global average price for PAC between 2019 and 2024 ranged from approximately $1,000 to $1,500 per metric ton, depending on the type and application. For instance, high-viscosity PAC (PAC-HV), commonly used in oil and gas drilling fluids, tends to be priced higher than low-viscosity PAC (PAC-LV) due to its specialized properties and demand in industrial applications.
Looking at market growth projections, the Poly Anionic Cellulose market was valued at around $792.4 million in 2023, with a forecasted CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 2.3% from 2024 to 2030, reaching $932.3 million by 2030. Another source suggests a market size of $815.1 million in 2023, projected to hit $934.26 million by 2029 at a similar CAGR of 2.3%. Assuming a relatively stable production volume, this modest growth rate suggests that prices in 2025 are unlikely to see dramatic spikes unless influenced by significant supply chain disruptions, raw material cost increases (e.g., cellulose or chemical reagents), or heightened demand from key sectors like oil and gas.
Given these trends, a reasonable estimate for the average price of Poly Anionic Cellulose in March 2025 would likely fall between $1,050 and $1,600 per metric ton, with:
- Low-viscosity PAC (PAC-LV) closer to $1,050–$1,300/MT.
- High-viscosity PAC (PAC-HV) ranging from $1,300–$1,600/MT.
These figures account for inflation, historical pricing trends, and the gradual market growth noted in forecasts. However, prices could be higher in regions with import dependencies or lower where production is localized (e.g., Asia-Pacific, a dominant market). For a precise quote, you’d need to contact suppliers directly, as they adjust prices based on real-time conditions, shipping costs, and specific formulations.
