Xanthan Gum Market by Function, Form, Application

List of Tables

The Xanthan Gum Market was valued at USD 1.11 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 1.20 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.93%, to USD 1.90 billion by 2030.

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide used extensively as a food additive for its properties as a thickening, suspending, and stabilizing agent. It is derived from fermenting simple sugars with the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. The necessity of xanthan gum arises from its capability to improve texture, maintain the homogeneity of liquid formulations, and provide consistency in products ranging from salad dressings to ice creams and gluten-free bakeries. The application scope is vast, spanning the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even oil drilling fluids. End-use scope primarily includes sectors such as food production companies, drug manufacturers, cosmetics producers, and petroleum industry clients. The xanthan gum market is driven by the rising demand for gluten-free and low-fat products, given its role in imitating the properties of gluten. Additionally, expanding health-conscious consumer bases and increased processed food consumption propel the market.
