Xanthan Gum Market: North America to Remain Frontrunner Owing to Favourable Regulatory Policies, TMR

The highly consolidated nature and a limited number of established players in the global xanthan gum market are keeping the level of competition controlled. Expansion of existing production capacities and geographical outreach are the primary areas of focus for established players to stay ahead in the market, says Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a new study. The top three players in the global xanthan gum market, namely CP Kelco, Fufeng Group, and Deosen, accounted for over 58.0% of its value in 2015. 

“The high capital requirement for establishment of manufacturing facilities is creating a high entry barrier for new players. However, lucrative growth prospects in North America are attracting a large number of new players to venture into the market,” says TMR’s lead analyst. The global xanthan gum market stood at a value of US$693.6 mn in 2016 and is estimated to rise to US$1,251.7 mn by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 7.7% therein. 
Asia Pacific to Emerge Most Promising Regional Market 
On the basis of end user, the food and beverage segment will continue to dominate the market until 2024, representing 70.1% of its value. The growing demand for beverages, sauces, dressings, and dairy products is triggering the adoption of xanthan gum in the sector. The oil and gas segment, on the other hand, will register a CAGR higher than any other segment during the forecast period. 
Geographically, North America will continue to command the lion’s share in the market until 2024. The development of new technologies in order to enhance the quality of xanthan gum and the presence of favorable regulatory policies are escalating the growth of the region. Asia Pacific is poised to progress at a CAGR of 8.8% during the same period, owing to the robust growth of end-user industries such as food and beverages and oil and gas. 
Rapid Growth of Food and Beverage Industry Stirs up Demand for Xanthan Gum 
The food and beverage sector worldwide is expanding at a brisk pace, owing to the rising per capita expenditure on food products and the changing consumption patterns. Xanthan gum is used in bakery and dairy products and therefore, the robust growth of the industry is supplementing the growth of the global market. “Xanthan gum offers advantages such as better acid stability, water binding capacity, salt tolerance, and viscosity control over other hydrocolloids, which drive its adoption across various applications such as oil drilling, personal care, and food and beverages,” says a TMR analyst. Moreover, the price inflation of substitutes such as guar gum is working in favor of the global xanthan gum market. 
Anti-dumping Duty on Asian Xanthan Gum Negatively Impacts Overall Market Revenue 
Xanthan gum produced in Austria and China are of inferior quality and are sold at cheaper prices than in the international market. This paved way for an anti-dumping duty on its imports to the U.S., which subsequently led to a decline in the prices of Asian xanthan gum due to oversupply in the rest of the international market. The declining prices are adversely affecting the overall revenue generation of the global market. In addition, the quality concerns over Asian xanthan gum are limiting their widespread adoption. However, the growing preference for gluten-free bakery products is likely to act as a light at the end of the tunnel for xanthan gum manufacturers over the coming years.
The global xanthan gum market has been segmented as follows: 
Xanthan Gum Market, by End User
  • Food & beverage
  • Bakery & Confectionery
  • Dairy & Ice creams
  • Meat & Fish
  • Beverages
  • Sauces & Dressings
  • Oil & gas
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Personal Care
  • Others (agrochemicals, lab research, paints, printing inks, etc.)

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...
