Market Overview:

The Food Gums Market consists of naturally occurring hydrocolloid substances which serve as essential components in food and beverage manufacturing for texture modification and emulsion stabilization and shelf-life extension. The market includes six primary hydrocolloid types: xanthan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, agar, gum arabic and locust bean gum which provide different functional properties including thickening and gelling and binding. The food industry depends heavily on these gums for bakery and dairy applications as well as beverages and confectionery and ready-to-eat meals. Market expansion occurs since consumers want clean-label and gluten-free and vegan products while manufacturers adopt plant-based ingredients. The market experiences improved functionality and cost efficiency through ongoing research in gum extraction and blending and formulation development. The market benefits from growing consumer health awareness and food safety regulations which promote the use of natural additives.
