The global market for guar gum market products is estimated to be US$ 239.4 million in 2024. In 2023, the market was valued at US$ 227.4 million. It is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.00% over the forecast period and reach US$ 398.4 million by 2034.
Post-pandemic, there is a growing awareness about the benefits of plant-based supplements and additives in the general population worldwide. This has opened new doors for companies involved in the nutraceutical and pharma industry to incorporate guar gum to enhance the overall nutritional qualities of their products. Guar gum is a thickening and stabilizing agent derived from guar beans, commonly grown in the semi-arid parts of India.
Guar gum finds its applications not just in the pharma industry but in the food and beverage processing sector as well. Its surging demand in these industries is attributed to its ability to provide viscosity, stabilize emulsions, and act as a thickening agent in various products. This helps manufacturers of packed food items to enhance the shelf life of their products. Guar gum meets the food and beverage industry’s demand for a natural thickening agent, attracting a substantial amount of eco-conscious consumers.
In oil and natural gas exploration plants, guar gum is used as a thickening agent in hydraulic fracturing fluids to improve viscosity and fluid flow. In countries like the United States, China, Canada, and Mexico, where shale gas exploration activities are at their peak, the demand for guar gum is very likely to increase in the coming years.
“There are still a lot of problems in the guar gum market. The market is still dependent upon India for the cultivation of guar beans. This reliance is very detrimental to the global industry as any disruptions or fluctuations in India’s guar bean production can significantly impact the guar gum market worldwide,” – Nandini Roy Choudhury, Client Partner at Future Market Insights
