Guar Gum Market



Growth Factors of Guar Gum Market

The guar gum market size was valued at USD 1.17 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 1.25 billion in 2024 to USD 2.01 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.05% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The guar gum was also not left behind by the shattering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Market disruptions, material shortages and transport limitations contributed to low guar production, and exports mainly from India. Another blower was decreased demand from oil and gas sector that applies guar gum in frocking processes. Nonetheless, the manufacturers continued to sell guar gum as thickening agents, which was a stable demand from the food industry. With the developing economy, the guar gum market is finding its ground even though there are some problems.

The eager in recent years towards the guar gum industry can be observed from its feeding application areas including in the food and beverages industries, which applies the gum as a thickening agent and stabilizer. Increase in the use of phyto-chemical and gluten free food has spread the usage of this compound in the food sector. Furthermore, guar gum is slowly finding its way in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry due to binding as well as emulsification. But instability in the demand from the oil and gas industry, where it acts as a fracking fluid has remained to be a reason impacting the market. Another emerging area of operation has also been seen in the area of sourcing in a sustainable manner. Thus, all the above mentioned factors are contributing towards the guar gum market growth.

Varieties of factors contribute to the growth of the guar gum market, of which the most important one is the application in the food industry as a natural thickener and stabilizer for both gluten-free and vegan products. Increasing usage from the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries on its account of binding and emulsifying nature is also increasing the market’s growth. Also, the application of the substance in hydraulic fracturing of the oil and gas industry is also significant. Other drivers include manufacturing benefits, such as the ability to produce applications in a fewer number of stages and increasing consumer inclination towards clean-label and plant-based ingredients. Two recent trends related to guar crop growing and application have become significant: environmental sustainability and innovations.

Comprehensive Analysis Guar Gum Market

Guar gum is categorized into three grades: There are three broad categories namely the food grade chemicals, the industrial chemicals, and the pharmaceutical chemicals. The food grade guar gum is majorly applied in baking and confectionery products, dairy products and frozen foods, and in beverages in form of thickening and stabilization characteristics. Industrial grade guar gum is mainly used in the oil and gas industry for hydraulic fracturing in addition to other industries and textile industries. Pharmaceutical grade guar gum is tailored for the use in the pharmaceutical industries as it has application as a binder and emulsifying agent in formulation of drugs. All the grades are very crucial in improving quality of products across various sectors of the economy.

Asia Pacific especially India has the largest market share in guar gum, as it is one of the largest producer and exporter companies for this product. About 81% of global guar gum production takes place in this country. It is largely produced in Rajasthan and Gujarat. Moreover, favorable climate for agriculture coupled with well developed supply chain as players are established in India. And as world markets grow, yet again, India remains significant on the supply of growing global demand for guar gum.

Key players in this sector include Cargill Corporation (U.S.), Ingredion Incorporated (U.S.), ALTRAFINE GUMS (India), VIKAS WSP LTD. (India), NEELKANTH POLYMERS (India), ASHAPURA PROTEINS LTD. (India), Hindustan Gum & Chemicals Ltd. (India), Shree Ram India Gums (India)

In 2023, the market observed the shift in product trends in the guar gum market because of the tremendous changes in consumers’ preferences. There is however a major movement towards the use of guar gum in plant based and gluten free products, as people shift towards a healthier lifestyle. There is also increased demand for organic guar gum caused by the trend for clean label ingredients. Also, being environmentally friendly in growing crops and other raw materials they use is as important to the manufacturers. Pharmaceutical segment is actively looking at the opportunities of using guar gum in developing the formulations in the drug line making thus developing its function further.
