The global guar gum market is projected to reach, USD 1,963.93 million in 2034 up from USD 1,234.6 million in 2024. With an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% over the forecast period, the market is anticipated to grow to USD 1,963.93 million by 2034.
Following the pandemic, there has been a heightened awareness of the benefits of plant-based supplements and additives, driving demand globally. This trend presents new opportunities for companies in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries to incorporate guar gum, enhancing the nutritional value of their products. Derived from guar beans, primarily cultivated in semi-arid regions of India, guar gum serves as a natural thickening and stabilizing agent.
Guar gum’s versatility extends beyond pharmaceuticals, finding significant use in the food and beverage processing sectors. Its ability to provide viscosity, stabilize emulsions, and act as a thickening agent has fueled its demand in these industries, where it is valued for extending the shelf life of packaged food products. This natural additive aligns well with the growing preference for eco-friendly ingredients among consumers in the food and beverage industry.
In the oil and natural gas sector, guar gum plays a critical role as a thickening agent in hydraulic fracturing fluids, enhancing viscosity and fluid flow. The demand for guar gum is expected to rise in countries with active shale gas exploration, such as the United States, China, Canada, and Mexico, driven by its essential function in the hydraulic fracturing process.
“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
