Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Pharmaceutical Grade Xanthan Gum market size was valued at US$ 57 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 82.2 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.5% during review period.

Xanthan gum is usually an organic product made from corn starch by fermentation. It is usually a white or light yellow powder. It is currently the most superior biological gum in the world that combines thickening, suspension, emulsification and stabilization. Pharmaceutical grade xanthan gum can be used as a setting agent, suspending agent, and moisturizing agent for pharmaceuticals, and has thickening, adhesion, and lubrication effects.

Xanthan gum price rises in recent years

Demand growth has led to a rapid rise in xanthan gum prices. In the first quarter of 2023, prices reached a high in the past decade, and the increase in xanthan gum prices was greater than the increase in raw material prices, resulting in a smaller increase in operating costs for manufacturers than in operating income, and bringing higher gross profit margins and total profits to production companies.

Technical barriers

The production technology of xanthan gum is in a state of continuous upgrading. Cost control is a key factor in competition in the xanthan gum industry. Good cost control can give products a significant price advantage. The main cost of producing xanthan gum comes from corn and coal consumption. In the future, the cost war in the xanthan gum industry will focus mainly on the competition of controlling cost technology upgrades.

Raw material barriers

The main raw material of xanthan gum is corn starch, which is a product of corn processing. In addition to being affected by climate and planting area, corn prices are also affected by complex factors such as the international corn market and the development of the fuel ethanol industry. Fluctuations in raw material prices will have a huge impact on the production costs of xanthan gum manufacturers.

Brand barriers

Xanthan gum is mainly produced in China, with a high degree of industry concentration. If new brands want to enter the xanthan gum market, they will face huge challenges in terms of brand awareness and reputation.
