The global food grade gellan gum market has witnessed significant growth in the historical period registering a CAGR of 3.1% in the historical period and it was valued at US$ 174.7 Mn in 2023. Gellan gum is a food additive that is extensively used as a substitute for agar and gelatin, and finds application in a variety of processed foods such as candy, jams, plant milk, and meat. It is primarily used as a thickener, stablizer, and emulsifier to bind, texturize, or stablize processed foods. Gellan gum is found naturally on water lilies, and can also be synthetically produced using sugar by fermenting it with a specific strain on bacteria.
Apart from this, gellan gum is known for its ability to stabilize supplemental nutrients such as calcium in plant milk and fortified juices. Gellan gum helps keep them mixed with the beverage, rather than getting settled at the bottom of the container. The global market for food grade gellan gum is estimated to reach an approximate valuation of US$ 269.01 Mn in the forecast period.
“Rising Consumer Awareness & Sensitivity About Food Additives”
Rapid urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and fast-paced lifestyle of consumers have led to increased consumption of processed foods.
