Natural Gum Market Driver
Growing health consciousness is notably driving the market growth. As consumers become more conscious of how their diet affects their health and wellness, there is a growing need for natural and organically sourced ingredients in foods and drinks. These natural gums come from a variety of natural sources, including acacia and guar, as well as locust bean and gum Arabic. The health benefits of natural gums include dental health, better digestion, and weight management, and they are becoming increasingly popular due to their clean-label nature, which means they don't contain any synthetic additives or chemicals, which is in line with consumer health preferences.
In addition, the global shift towards sustainable and environmentally friendly ways of doing things is also having an impact on buying habits. Because natural gums are plant-based, they are seen as more eco-friendly than synthetic additives. This resonates with eco-conscious consumers who are looking for products with minimal environmental impact. All these above-mentioned factors will drive the market's growth during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for natural and organic products is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The global natural gum market is experiencing a major change in consumer preferences. Organic and natural products are increasingly popular as a whole. Consumers are increasingly aware of the health and environmental advantages of natural and organic additives. One of the main reasons for the increase in the demand for organic and natural gums is that consumers are increasingly concerned about the presence of synthetic ingredients and chemicals in foods.
Moreover, sustainability and eco-friendliness are also having an impact on consumer buying habits. Not only do consumers want products that are beneficial for their health, but they also want products that have minimal environmental impact. Natural gum manufacturers like Archer Daniels Midland Co., Cargill, Inc., and DuPont de Nemours, Inc., are responding to the need for sustainable sourcing and ethical sourcing by appealing to eco-conscious consumers. These factors will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Issues related to quality control and standardization are a significant challenge hindering market growth. Standardization and quality control are major challenges that affect the market growth and trends and also the competitiveness of the market. Gum Arabic, guar natural gum, xanthan natural gum, and other natural gums are used in a variety of industries, from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Maintaining uniform quality standards across different geographic areas and supply chains poses several challenges. Furthermore, the lack of a single regulatory framework in different countries globally affects standardization.
However, different regulations and acceptable levels of contaminants or additives vary from country to country. This can lead to confusion among manufacturers and prevent the market from moving in the same direction. International standards and regulatory guidance on natural gums are essential to level the playing field for manufacturers around the world. These factors will hinder the market's growth during the market forecasting period.
Food-grade natural gum products are made especially to satisfy the high safety and quality requirements set by US regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These gums come from natural sources, such as plants or trees, and are put through a rigorous testing process to make sure they don't contain any dangerous substances and satisfy the requirements needed to be consumed by humans. Several natural gum products find significant market demand within the food-grade sector. One such item is xanthan gum, a popular food addition with stabilizing and thickening qualities. Common uses for xanthan gum in food and beverage applications include sauces, dressings, and dairy products. Further, guar gum is often used in dairy, frozen desserts, and baking. These factors will drive the growth of the food grade segment and will fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the food and beverage segment will be significant during the forecast period. In the application market, natural gums are used in a wide variety of foods. They are frequently used in desserts, dairy products, beverages, sauces, dressings, and baked goods. For instance, guar gum is frequently used in place of wheat flour in gluten-free baking to provide the baked goods structure and texture. Salad dressings and sauces often include xanthan gum to enhance their mouthfeel and durability.
The food and beverage segment was the largest and was valued at USD 1.43 billion in 2018
