Global Xanthate Gum Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Xanthate Gum market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1709 million in 2025 to US$ 2003 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2025 to 2031.

Xanthate gum is a complex polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of sugars (glucose, sucrose, lactose) by Xanthomonas campestris. Xanthate gum is usually an organic product made from fermented corn starch. It is usually a white or light yellow powder. Xanthate gum is one of the most superior biological gums that integrates thickening, suspension, emulsification and stabilization. It is widely used in food, petroleum, medicine, cosmetics and other industries.

Market demand continues to grow

Xanthate gum has a wide range of uses. In the next few years, driven by downstream demand, the xanthate gum market will continue to grow.

Petroleum grade and food grade occupy a dominant position

Xanthate gum is an efficient, high-quality, environmentally friendly oil drilling mud additive with a wide range of applications. It has strong tolerance to temperature (≥94°C), acid, alkali, and salt. It can significantly improve the permeability of mud and the ability to suspend solid matter, reduce pressure loss during drilling, stabilize the well wall, reduce damage to the reservoir, and significantly improve the efficiency of drilling, well repair, and well completion. At the same time, as a biological oil recovery additive, while protecting the environment, xanthate gum can greatly improve the profile adjustment effect and oil recovery rate, improve resource utilization, reduce production costs, and improve economic benefits. Xanthate gum is mainly used as a thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier and stabilizer in the food industry. Under certain harsh regulations (such as pH value of 3-9, temperature of 80-130°C), its performance is basically stable, which is superior to gelatin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), alginate, pectin, etc. At present, the petroleum industry and the food industry are the most important uses of xanthate gum.

The industrial chain continues to extend

Xanthate gum is a biological additive with thickening and suspension properties that can be used in a wide range of pH values and temperatures. It has excellent performance and a wide range of applications. It has been widely used in more than 20 industries such as food, petroleum, medicine, cosmetics, pesticides, geology and mining, environmental protection, textiles, ceramics, glass lining, paint, printing and dyeing, adhesives, papermaking, building materials, metallurgy, firefighting, explosives, and hundreds of uses. With the continuous advancement of scientific research, the application field of xanthate gum is still expanding rapidly, and the industrial chain is constantly extending.
