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.”

Oil and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection Equipment Market Driven by Stringent Government Regulations

Although renewable resources of energy have gained substantial popularity in the recent past, there is no foreseeable limitation to the escalating demand for oil and gas, with the growing population and rapid urbanization. Consequently, the demand in the global market for oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment is projected for a robust CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024, according to a recent report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). As per the estimations of the TMR report, the global oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market will be worth US$3.65 bn by the end of 2024, significantly up from its evaluated valuation of US$2.02 bn in 2015. Some of the key factors augmenting the demand in the oil and gas pipeline leak detection equipment market are: development and expansion of existing pipelines and construction of new pipelines, increasing incidents of oil and gas leakages in pipeline and storage tanks at production facilities, and

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

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 prototypi
