Global Gellan Gum Market Size, Trends, and Analysis - Forecasts To 2026 By Product Type (High Acyl Content, Low Acyl Content), By Application (Food, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Industrial & Household Cleaners, Pharmaceuticals, Others), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa); End-User Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis & Competitor Analysis
Gellan gum is a viscous soluble fiber made from lactose or glucose (corn starch) by the bacteria Sphingomonas elodea (cheese whey). Gellan gum is a food additive that helps to stabilize, texturize, and bind foods. Some gelling agents such as guar gum, carrageenan, agar-agar, and xanthan gum have identical characteristics to gellan gum. Gellan gum is used in the food and beverage sector, as well as in the pharmaceutical sector. Because of its high demand for food and beverage applications, the global gellan gum market is projected to expand significantly over the estimated timeline. It's used as a supplement or alternative to hydrocolloids in drinks and dairy products, boosting its popularity in the food sector. The rapid development of the food and beverage sector in large markets around the world, such as Europe, China, India, and the United States, is projected to fuel product growth over the next five years, attributed to increasing market reliance on packaged food goods. In protein-fortified drinks and nut milk, gellan gum allows for the suspension and consistent dispersion of insoluble particles. To meet increasing consumer demand, product manufacturers are anticipated to increase their manufacturing capacity. Moreover, the producers are organizing a number of international activities to promote the use of the product to expand the consumer base around the world. Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, industrial cleaning, personal care, and food are among the industrial sectors that use the product. Over the forecast timeframe, the gellan gum market is anticipated to spur due to rising demand for the product as an oil content stabilizer in cosmetic products such as skin lotions, masks, creams, and face washes.
As a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifying agent, the substance is predicted to see robust growth in the food and beverage sector. The product can be used as a stand-alone ingredient in food and beverage systems or in addition to other stabilizers to make a variety of foods. This product has excellent characteristics such as strong pH resistance, low viscosity, transparency, excellent flavor release, and shearing capabilities. The product's characteristics are anticipated to expand its application base in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and cosmetics. During the preparation of bakery products, the product also aids in the segregation of ingredients. It also helps to keep gel consistency and avoids color variations in spreads and purees. It aids in the production of thick liquids used as marinades or toppings for meats by enhancing fluid viscosity. The high costs of commercialization and extraction of gellan gum are expected to stifle demand development in the near future. During the expected timeframe, the availability of a variety of gellan gum alternatives is expected to further limit the global gellan gum market.
The global gellan gum market has been divided into two categories based on product type: low acyl gellan gum and high acyl gellan gum. Owing to its properties such as softness and high elasticity, which are needed in numerous food and beverage products, the high acyl gellan gum category is expected to hold a large market share. Increased use of high acyl gellan gum as an emulsifying agent, stabilizing agent, or thickener in the food and beverage sector is expected to fuel the segment's development in the near future. Furthermore, plant-based protein drinks, milk products, fruit juices, and other beverages contain high acyl gellan gum as a suspension agent.
Food and beverages are projected to be the most popular application category, accounting for nearly half of total consumption. In the food and beverage sector, dairy products are projected to be a rapidly-growing application. Gellan gum is rapidly gaining acceptance as a critical stabilizing and emulsification agent in bakery and confectionery goods, and as a result, it is predicted to be the largest market in the food and beverage sector during the projected timeframe. Due to its use in a variety of cosmetic products, the gellan gum market is also anticipated to expand in the personal care and cosmetics market. Evolving consumer lifestyles, along with increasing purchasing capacities of the global middle-class population, are estimated to drive demand for beauty products, allowing the market to expand over the forecast timeframe.
Because of its broad variety of applications in the food & beverage sector and the scale of the food and pharmaceutical sectors in the region, North America is projected to be the largest gellan gum regional segment in terms of revenue generation in the global market. Germany is the world's second-largest food and beverage manufacturing market, allowing for the most efficient use of the commodity in the region.
Because of the large production volumes of the gellan gum market in China owing to low labor and raw material costs, the Asia Pacific region is projected to lead the market in terms of CAGR. Because of the significant growth in the food and beverage sector, as well as changing customer preferences for alternative goods, consumer demand in APEJ is predicted to rise. Over the projected timeframe, factors such as evolving consumer tastes, leading participants' expansion strategies to extend their product range, increasing spending power, and demand for innovative goods are supposed to propel growth in this area.
DSM, CP Kelco, Dancheng Caixin Sugar Industry Co, Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co. Ltd., Nanjing Joyfulchem Co., Ltd., H, and A Canada, IHC Chempharm, Biopolymer International, Zhejiang Zhongken Biotech Co. Ltd. are among the market's leading players.
