Gellan Gum Market Research Report - Opportunities & Challenges With Totally Different Segments, Forecast-2026
Considering the growing demand for natural & organic gelling ingredients for production of food and beverages, global consumption of gellan gum should continue to increase at a greater pace. However, Future Market Insights projects that over a ten-year forecast period, global consumption will exhibit a moderate CAGR of 3.7%.
Global gellan gum sales will incur a sluggish increment till
the end of 2026, adding just over 500 MT to the current ballpark figures on
global gellan gum consumption. Regardless of substituting agar as thickener for
food & beverages and incurring higher use in production of pharmaceutical
fluids, global sales of gellan gum will continue to rake in meagre revenues
over the forecast period.
Sales of gellan gum is projected to cross US$ 60 Mn by 2026.
Sales revenue is likely to record a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period.
Among the various applications, the food segment dominated the global gellan
gum market with more than 50% market share in 2016. Owing to increasing use of
gellan gum in food and beverages products globally, the market for food and
beverages products is witnessing significant growth.
Presently, gellan gum is widely used as an alternative for
various hydrocolloids such as carrageenan gum in various dairy
products, protein enriched drinks and other beverages. Gellan gum
enables uniform dispersion and suspension of insoluble particulates in protein-fortified
beverages and nut milks.
Manufacturers of gellan gum are expanding their production
capacity to meet the increasing market demand. Various international events are
organised to promote the usage of gellan gum and to increase its customer base
around the globe.
Key Deterrents for Growth in Global Gellan Gum
Consumption
- Procuring
raw materials required for production of gellan gum remains to be a major
challenge for manufacturers. Complex techniques used for formulating
gellan gum from lactose or glucose inhibits their production among local
players that have a modest manufacturing infrastructure.
- Gellan
gum is now being actively substituted by alternative hydrocolloids such as
xanthan, pectin and gelatine, which are cheaper to produce and easier to
harvest from raw materials. The consumption of carrangeenan, among such
hydrocolloids, is projected to gain traction as opposed to gellan gum.
Nevertheless, several companies in the global food &
beverage industry will continue to prefer gellan gum as organic thickeners for
products such as jellies, soups and packaged yogurts. Leading gellan gum
manufacturers in the world are expanding their production capacity, primarily
focusing on delivering gellan gum products for food & beverage applications.
Royal DSM, a prominent manufacturer of gellan gum, recently acquired
manufacturing plants in China, while CP Kelco made headlines for expanding the
production capacity of its San Diego plant.
Dancheng Caixin Sugar Industry Co. Ltd., Zhejiang Tech-Way
Biochemicals Co. Ltd., Hangzhou Gellan Solutions Biotec Co. Ltd., Zhejiang DSM
Zhongken Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Meron Group, Hebei Xinhe Biochemical Co. Ltd.,
Fufeng Group, and Inner Mongolia Rainbow Biotech Co. Ltd., are gellan gum
manufacturers based in APEJ countries such as China and India. In terms of
global market value, APEJ gellan gum market will account for over one-third
share throughout the forecast period. US-based CP Kelco will continue to
account for over 70% of global gellan gum revenues, making North America a
dominant region in the global gellan gum market through 2026.
