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...

Virtual pipeline system market - Demand of cleaner energy alternatives, Trends 2025

Powered by the advancing concerns over renewability of energy sources has affected the natural gas industry positively. The transportation of oil and natural gas in a brisk, albeit safe manner has never been such an urgent requirement. With pipelines being the most common approach, they are the primary choice of supply of energy sources. Physical pipelines, being confined to specific geography, are not found to be effective in terms of unfeasible terrains or technically inaccessible areas. As a result, the virtual pipeline industry has been gaining recognition, and is slated to be one of the fastest growing markets in the upcoming years. According to a report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global virtual pipeline industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period of 2017-2025. The industry opportunity is expected to be supported by the brisk acceleration of the demand of transportation of liquid energy resources. Industrial space...
