Gellan gum is a kind of extra cellular polysaccharide excreted by microorganism pseudomonas elodea. It is a linear structure with a repeating unit of tetrasaccharide. As emulsifier, suspension agent, thickener, stabilizer, gelling agent, tissue culture medium, film former and lubricant, gellan gum has been widely used in many fields, such as food additives industry, daily-chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, etc. Gellan gum is considered as one of the most advanced food additive in the world.
According to the new market research report “Global Gellan Gum Market Report 2023-2029”, published by QYResearch, the global Gellan Gum market size is projected to reach USD 0.56 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.

Market Drivers:
Due to its natural, safe, non-toxic, and high-efficiency properties, gellan gum has broad application prospects in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals.
The development of high-acyl gellan gum production technology promotes the expansion of the demand for gellan gum in dairy products and fruit juices.
Gellan gum is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, making it an attractive choice for manufacturers developing plant-based alternatives to traditional dairy and meat products.
Gellan gum's properties extend beyond the food industry. It is used in personal care products like lotions and creams for its thickening and stabilizing effects. Moreover, it has potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery systems.
Restraint:
The price of gellan gum is high, consumers have low awareness of gellan gum, and the market is in the development stage. There are several other hydrocolloids and thickeners available in the market, such as agar, carrageenan, xanthan gum, and guar gum. Gellan gum competes with these alternatives, and its market share could be affected by consumer preferences and trends.
The gellan gum market might be relatively fragmented, with a few key players dominating certain segments. This fragmentation could lead to pricing pressures and limited room for smaller players to compete effectively.
The cost of gellan gum can be subject to fluctuations due to factors such as raw material availability, production processes, and demand. This can impact its affordability and attractiveness for manufacturers.
Opportunity:
The overall food texture market, which includes hydrocolloids like gellan gum, is expected to grow due to the increasing demand for improved sensory experiences and textures in food products. Among the hydrocolloids, gellan gum appeared late, but due to its excellent performance, the market is developing rapidly. With the increase of consumption level, gellan gum is expected to replace some gelatin and carrageenan in the future and become an important member of the hydrocolloid.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19, consumers' demand for packaged food and health products has increased, which has stimulated the downstream demand for gellan gum to increase.
As economies develop and disposable incomes rise in various parts of the world, there's an increased appetite for processed and convenience foods. This can drive the demand for gellan gum as an ingredient in these products.
