Global Xanthan Gum Market: Manufacturers Continue to Rely on Steady F&B Sector, notes TMR

The global xanthan gum market is expected to remain consolidated in nature, owing to the large presence of globally prominent players and their recent moves on capacity expansion. In 2015, Fufeng Group Company Limited, CP Kelco, and Deosen had dominated the global xanthan gum market in terms of revenue generation. At the time, they had captured almost 58.1% of the global xanthan gum market. Given the overall consolidated market nature, these players are likely to remain in the lead for the time being.
According to a research report released by Transparency Market Research, the degree of competition in the global xanthan gum market is expected to change over the coming years due to a very high scope of entry by newer players from North America. From the global market’s perspective, this threat is likely to remain moderate due to the leading production rates by other regions. The global xanthan gum market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 7.7% in revenue, within a forecast period from 2016 to 2024. This revenue is expected to reach US$1.25 bn by the end of 2024, after reaching US$651.5 mn at the end of 2015. In terms of volume, the global xanthan gum market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.3% for the same forecast period.
Demand for Xanthan Gum in Food and Beverage Sector likely to Skyrocket
“The food and beverage sector has always been a leading end user in the global xanthan gum market. Given is nearly irreplaceable use as a stabilizer and a thickener, xanthan gum manufacturers have consistently strived to increase their value in the food and beverage sector and have managed to do so with great success. The scope of xanthan gum in foods is expected to grow even larger over the coming years, with a growing rate of food consumption across the global urban population. The extremely large demand for processed foods and convenience foods is expected to surge till 2024, further increasing the scope of revenue generation in the global xanthan gum market,” states a TMR analyst.
The global xanthan gum market is also being driven by the greater preference of xanthan gum in the food and beverages industry over other hydrocolloids, owing to its better performance as a stabilizer. Additionally, the primary substitute for xanthan gum – guar gum – is expected to witness a drop in supply rates over the coming years, owing to the growing demand for stabilizers and the inability of guar gum manufacturers in meeting this demand due to the seasonal nature of guar seeds.
Quality Concerns Continue to Plague Global Xanthan Gum Market
The problems associated with the inferior quality of production of xanthan gum continues to restrain the global xanthan gum market. The imports of xanthan gum from Austria and China were earlier deemed of a sub-par quality and were introduced to markets in the U.S. and other developed nations at a less-than-fair price in comparison to the international market. This resulted in several countries and especially the U.S. to implement strict anti-dumping policies for xanthan gum imports. Additionally, several research organizations showed that some of the xanthan gum manufactured in China was unfit for use in food and beverages, although being labelled as safe for consumption, due to the presence of impurities that diluted the overall quality of the shipped product.
 “While the imports of xanthan gum from China and Austria into the U.S. are slowing down considerably, it is providing players within the U.S. to rise up to the occasion. It has thus formed a highly beneficial opportunity for these players to increase their shares in the global xanthan gum market,” adds the analyst.
The information presented in this review is based on a Transparency Market Research report, titled, “Xanthan Gum Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
